Wow. Great start! I've done a little work in sketch up and know how time consuming it can be. What a fun project.

This software is excellent for basic architecture, but it's not the best tool to draw uneven lines and shapes... That front fender is a nightmare...
When doing this job you realise that despite the "boxy" shape the 914 is full of subtle curves and is a real achievement in car design.

Has anybody completed a 3d model of the car? I've done some 3d imaging in the past, perhaps I could take a model and produce some cool photos.

Johannes,
Very cool project. I'm still doing my projects by Autocad, always wanted to learn sketchup. Could I get a copy?

See links posted above.

I'm drawing our resort buildings with Sketchup to get them into Google Earth.

It would be awesome if Google would accept a submission of that 914 into Earth!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Place it on your street, on race tracks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Could make for a fun virtual scavenger hunt.
