So, I have this long time ,not finished project . (thats a under statement !) Today I got some tires so I could move it around and put it up on the rack. (didn't have a rack when I started. ) Last time I worked on it I had done some soda blasting. ( Harbor Freight tool. ) I started doing some general clean up.(that stuff gets in every where.)After that I put it up on the rack. And had a look around.

This car came from Texas and to my glassed over eye's,almost no rust ! Can this be ? I kept looking and it just looked better and better. ( after seeing some of the car's being repaired here I figgered the worse.

Here is my dilemma. I want a 914 GT like the Lufthansa race car. I was going to use a Subaru STI motor and have the Kennedy stuff for the trans. ( got the car with no motor or trans) Having been at it for so long, things have changed and may go with the Subaru trans ? With all the good steel in this chassis l'm thinking I will need to go steel flairs. Instead of the Glass . Or is it better to just leave it stock ? I don't like the stock power. (had one in 79 almost new) And their is the front fender/driver side hit/repair to think about. She will never be a original.I'm rambling !

Stay stock ?
Build a wantabe ?
Other ?

Here are some shots of the steel.(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i257.photobucket.com-8123-1422155029.1.jpg)
