This car looks great. I can't wait to see it put back together.
What suspension is that? It looks like an SC. |

Thanks everyone, it is nice to hear all this great feedback. And like some of you said I can not wait to drive this damn thing...... I been waiting soooooo long.... But anyways, to answer your question.
The Font struts are off a 1971-75 911S (EBAY), I added turbo tie rod ends, Front sway bar, with all new bushings. My dad and I put all new bearings in, because they did not sound so nice when we first got them. New vented rotors, 911 M Brake calipers (rebuilt), and KYB sturts. I kept in the 19MM torsion bars. The rear suspension is also KYB Gas cylinders, and I added Bigger springs (175Lb). I basically copied my dads rear suspension because I like the feel of his car. I had the hubs send to Brad Mayeur in Illinois who drilled out some early hubs and put in 5 lugs, and pressed them back in. Lastly put in a rear sway bar and new drop link bushings. The rear brakes are still the orignal ones. |

Your 914 looks great. Good work and very clean
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif) Do you plan to race it in HSR ? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) Hope to see the rest of the photos when you are done. Quilmes |

Quilmes,
Thanks Quilmes, I plan on doing PCA track events (Driver Ed's) with it. I have found them pretty enjoyable. We Go to Lime Rock, and Watkins Glen, but I would love to get up to Mid-Ohio and VIR. Maybe in a few years I might convert the car into a full fledge racer. I often go up to the Vintage Grand Prix Festival every september at Watkins Glen for the car show, and I have seen about 5 or 6 914-4 and 914-6's up there and boy does that look like fun. So who knows? Is HSR, Hitorical racing? |

Nuh-nuh-niiiiice! The motor and tranny look too good to hide in a car (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) Are you anywhere near Broome? I'm in Rochester, and come down for the MX nationals in August once in a while. Nice to see another NY 914 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif) |

Yes actually Broome is about ten minutes from my house, you might have seen my Dad's car over there, it is a Red 1973 914-4 2L. He has been doing autocross over at Broome. You should do some track events at Watkins Glen w/ the PCA, It is a blast!

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/boldblue.gif) Yep, me likes now! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/boldblue.gif) For those of you who don't know, my next project will be one of Craigs 914-4's into a flared 914-6 which just happens to be Olympic Blue. I was thinking about changing to Gemini Blue, but we all know a color change is PITA. After seeing these sweet pictures, I think I will just leave the Olympic Blue alone. Dam, that looks great!

Wholey Crapoley!!!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)
What a Beauty.

Welcome to the zoo (psssst, don't be easily offended, there are tons of really great, but crazy people here. If you assume the jabs are meant in jest, you can have a lot of fun learning here.) . (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) Oh, and Patrick, thanks for making me feel better about the midwest. I might have 10 foot snow piles outside it, but I do have 3 cars, a truck, 2 lawn tractors, a Gator and tons more room inside. Trade-off I guess. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) It is 39' here today.

Racing916, You did a great job on those flares! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif) The last six i did also has a 2.2T engine with Zeniths on it, glass flares etc. Trust me, your smile will go from ear to ear when you get to drive it. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Rick (914-8 Alien) said his FG flares bowed in around the bottom over time(years). So I made sure I left the factory steel fender supports in place, ground off all the paint and glassed the flares to those. You can tug on any part of any flare, supper strong, bonded from both sides so you don't feel a lip or anything. Your 914 looks like a million bucks! Welcome to the club, we love pictures here! Sooooo, here is mine: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif) Attached image(s) |

Yup, that car looks fantastic! The detailing of the engine is pretty incredible. I wish I had the time, money, motivation, etc, etc to do something like that. You have to show us progress pics, that thing will be amazing when done!

Nice 6. My conversion also includes a 2.2T with Zenths. I'm proud of what I have done so far and I know it will run out and sound great in the Spring when it is all together. Hope to post pictures soon.
