OU8AVW's Build Thread, On the road again..... Options

[OU8AVW]

I've been lurking here for four years, I signed up the day after I bought my 914. It's a 1971 car and I bought it because the doors clinked shut like a Porsche is supposed to. I have learned allot from this forum and I'll say it again, this is the best auto forum on the intraweb!

Work situations, other car projects, a sailboat and three kids that play Lacrosse, swim, ect I have not really worked on the car at all until recently. I have been prolifically collecting parts, knowledge, and building a network of trusted friends and vendors.

As it stands:
-I have 75% of the sweet parts I need
-Scotty B and I made a good deal to have him paint my car
-I have a running motor with 40 Webers, another fully machined motor with rebuilt heads and six new injectors waiting to be assembled and a sideshift trans.
-My good friend Eric of Willswerks in VA and I trade labor. He's a transmission guru like Dr. Evil. He also has a huge stash of NOS part's he hooks me up with
-I have a full interior with new leather seats, new carpet and new door panels
-A set of sway bars for both ends
-A nice set of 2.0 Fuchs

I need-
-Brakes
-A little pan repair
-A dash
-a few more bits i can't remember now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
-A freakin' garage!

Here's what she looks like now-




She's supposed to be white and I think I'll go back to the original color. Here's my inspiration:
