Welcome to my Audi Turbo 914 build thread! This first post has been highly edited for your(and my) ease of navigation.

The car 1973 Porsche 914 1.7 w/ appearance group package
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-172-1429499049.jpg)
`
The Story:
I purchased this car when I was 14years old and had bought 2 other 914s with it for a measly $1100, The other 2 914’s were basket cases and one had been in a roll over. The previous owner put the 2.0 from the roll over car in this car. I parted out the other two cars and DID A V8 CONVERSION on mine after I couldn’t figure out how to adjust the valves (It seemed easier..). I do a 5 lug conversion as well as put some fiberglass flares on the car and many other things before I decide to paint the car. That is the start of this thread.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i1210.photobucket.com-172-1295463716.1.jpg)
`
Next I decide that I don’t like how the v8 drives and how I could never keep it cool so I decide to embark on a journey with an engine I was already more familiar with. The Audi 1.8T.
To start at the 1.8T engine conversion click below.
