I see things..... Group: Members Posts: 261 Joined: 23-September 10 From: Netherlands Member No.: 12,210 Region Association: Europe	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: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i854.photobucket.com-12210-1285278863.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i854.photobucket.com-12210-1285278864.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i854.photobucket.com-12210-1285278864.3.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i854.photobucket.com-12210-1285278865.4.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i854.photobucket.com-12210-1285278865.5.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i854.photobucket.com-12210-1285278865.6.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i854.photobucket.com-12210-1285278865.7.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i854.photobucket.com-12210-1285278865.8.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i854.photobucket.com-12210-1285278866.9.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i854.photobucket.com-12210-1285278866.10.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i854.photobucket.com-12210-1285278866.11.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i854.photobucket.com-12210-1285278866.12.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i854.photobucket.com-12210-1285278866.13.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i854.photobucket.com-12210-1285278867.14.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i854.photobucket.com-12210-1285278867.15.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i854.photobucket.com-12210-1285278867.16.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i854.photobucket.com-12210-1285278867.17.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i854.photobucket.com-12210-1285278867.18.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i854.photobucket.com-12210-1285278867.19.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i854.photobucket.com-12210-1285278867.20.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i854.photobucket.com-12210-1285278867.21.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i854.photobucket.com-12210-1285278867.22.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i854.photobucket.com-12210-1285278868.23.jpg)
