I was amazed when I stumbled on Dean's photo album of this car. Labor of love. Lot's of hard work went into it. The main thing is... he got it running! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Thanks Eric... the main main thing is I didn't run out of money before it was running! The brakes work amazingly well! Thanks so much for your contribution. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I'm totally broke now, btw!!

How about some before pictures, so we can see what you started with? Sounds like you had your work cut out for you ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif)

Wow! That is a very nice car. I'm in the middle of a restoration and sometimes it is frustrating that the progress is so slow. It is nice to see that the hard work pays off in the end. Great job!

Eric does outstanding work!! I agree with him.

Thanks for the compliments more pictures are coming. I'm taking it to Cars and Coffee for it's debut tomorrow morning.

Car of the month.

Nice ride!

Very Nice! Very clean!

Maybe a contender for COTM?

Now you need the GT front spoiler with the ducts for brake cooling.

No, unfortunately it's not nice enough for car of the month! I wish but those cars are perfect... this one if far from it. It's really just a good ol' American hot rod! big engine in a little car (that just happens to be German). I'm trying to make it look old so I'm using a lot of pieces with patina: door handles, bumpers, engine grill. etc... I wanted a car that I wasn't afraid of beating the hell out of! This is my new auto cross car.

Absolutely fantastic!

You made it very easy for me to decide what to do with mine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Is it possible to convert tail shift to side shift? Same casing?

Thanks! All 914 901's are virtually the same but just with different shifter mechanisms. I used the 914-6 trans and took the shift mechanism form a 1974 trans. It fit perfectly. I can't take all the credit, Eddie Sanches (Eddie's Auto, Indio CA) is a VW expert and built it for me. He does VW trans all the time and I gave him 3 parts trans, the 914-6 trans, all new synchros, new first and fifth, new bearings/seals, the Rennshift linkage, billet aluminum intermediate plate and the 901 factory manual and said, "here! Can you do this?!!" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif) It's perfect now! It shifts like it's in a gate!

Do you have any pics of the final install of the oil cooler and lines in the front trunk you would be willing to share?

Thanks.

Fantastic! You may be broke now but you'll still be enjoying that car long after the debts it created are gone.

Great looking car. Congrats.

What wheels and spacers are you using?

I don't regret a thing! I've always wanted this exact car so I'm just glad to finally have it, no matter the cost. When one is as obsessed as I am there is no choice!
