SO, I have a 914 V8 conversion project I've been working on for some time now. Started with no kids and no bills.... now I have two kids and just got divorced ha-ha so the car has been on hold for around a year, should be knocking it out soon.
any tips, comments, advice, hate messages, somebody that wants to buy it when im done? I literally have no reason to keep this as it wont hold me and my two sons, leaving this as a "alone time" ride. Plan is to finish the build, and then find a buyer or trade for a crewcab chevy truck (Hopefully). I'll put up more photos when I get around to taking some..... car is mostly sanded to metal at the moment... the random paint colors are from me spraying it to keep the metal that I exposed when I flared the fenders from rusting while it sat. Complete so far......

I wish you the best with the sale. Knowing projects are a little tough to sell. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. There are a few on here & the projects tend to stay on quite a while. Hopefully yours will be different & go quick |

no worries, no rush to sell.... I'll be working to complete it in the meantime. I just figured I would at least get it out there for the world to see.

First drive last night. No seats no trunk lid no roof. Ran very well I do need a bit of carb tuning. Hoping to be buttoned up tonight and ready for body and paint (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif) |

Body completely sanded to bare steel over the weekend. Rear air dam and driver side rocker panel installed. Passenger rocker going on this week,
Dent removal (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) started last night, should be primed by the end of the week. Once body is good and primer is on, I plan to reassemble the trim & interior to drive and have some fun!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) . car will officially be FOR SALE (on CraigsList and an EBAY auction) then as a finished build. Sans paint of course. If it sits long enough I will get paint done myself, a color of my own choosing. |
