Thanks, I really appreciate your compliments.

Completing this project has been a dream of mine for over 30 years. I started a different 914 project 33 years ago but then had to sell it to have the time and money needed to raise my kids.

To finally be able to get this 914 project to a state of completion was much harder than I ever imagined but now that it is done it is immensely satisfying.

Thanks, the tires are 225/50-16 Bridgestone Potenza RE-11's mounted on 16 x 8" wide wheels on all four corners. I believe I used a 6mm or 7mm thick spacer behind the back wheels.

Congratulations. Beautiful car. I love the black targa bar trim. I may steal that idea for my build.

Thanks, I am really happy with how it is progressing.

I am spending the winter working on detailing the interior thanks to the specials that Mark at 914Rubber offered last month.

I'll have to post some updates eventually when I get some solid progress accomplished.

Car looks fantastic Jeff. I think I'll use your dimensions of the firewall access for
my build. Looks like ample space. Really nice build.
Thanks for the great pics. Enjoy it!

Great looking car, and it IS a lot of work. I am in the throes of a /6 build too. I want to shit-can the whole thing weekly, but I persevere.

Awesome job!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
