Hi,

My name is Randall, 37 years old and I live in The Netherlands

I wanted to build a classic but not deal with the classic troubles....
My search found me a Porsche 914 built in 1974 and imported from California to The Netherlands in 1999. The car drove for only 1 year and then was sent to the painter, there it stayed for 10 years until it was bought by Europe's largest 914 parts suplier here in The Netherlands and then it was bought by me.
They are notorious for the rust on the right rear and my car was in a very good shape compared to most of them. Mine had repairs done before, but not to my standards.

So the logical step was just to do it again, only better....

I'm going to completely gut out everything inside and build it up as a tubeframe 914. Powerplant is going to be a Subaru 4cil boxer and the transmission for building/setup purposes is going to be the stock 5-speed converted to 2wd. However the roadgoing transmission will be either an Elite sequential 6-speed or a mendeola seq 5-speed....haven't made up my mind just yet.

Pics from the first week when I got it:

The next step was to make it easier to work on, so I constructed a so-called rotisserie

I wil replace the original 4 cilinder porsche (VW) boxer with a Subaru boxer and a subaru transmission. These are pics of my fitting engine and transmission. These are from a WRX

The 4wd transmission will be converted to 2wd for mid-engine use by removing the center diff and locking two independent rotating shafts together so that all the power is transferred to the old front wheels which are now the rear wheels,



Decided to make the endplate myself

Then I installed braces in the doors to prevent the car from bending when the complete floorpan is removed.
Then I safely removed the rest of the floorpan and after that it was time to start building the Jig for this baby.
I want to build it into a semi tubeframe porsche with a subaru boxer and a sequential transmission. I will cut out the entire inside except for the front inner fenders and create a new inside, with carbon floor and carbon fenders and doors.
It will be the GT wider version.

Pics of the Jig construction

Finished the OEM transmission mount jig, it's the one in the rear center.
Left side frame rail also finished and started today with the jig that will hold the rear outer body shell during cutting and removing the inside of this car.
It needs to be solid since it will be the only thing preventing the body from bending at the doorsills when empty ( the doorbraces I want to remove during building of the tube frame)

Pics show it half way finished now;

There appear to be some excellent engineering and welding skills (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) going into this project. Keep the pics coming, we all appreciate seeing a project like this. Oh, yes...
