Hi World!
Let the games begin! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) As the title says, it's a '75 that's getting an LS3 (Cracker's "old" motor - thanks Tony!) and Boxster 6 speed. Also planned is zippidy doo-dah 911 front suspension with Boxster calipers all around. The rear suspension is getting 911 ebrakes, Tangerine Racing raised pickups and shock towers. I have plans to stiffen the chassis with a partial cage. Doesn't that sound like a great plan? I think so, too! BACKGROUND: I got this as a roller that was purported to be "dry and accident free". And it was! Except for all the rust and the place where it was hit. Yeah, yeah... But it's all good. The seller and I worked everything out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) But our little 914s are full of surprises and isn't that half the fun? So, first up is rust repair time! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) Let's begin with some pics of what I started with. Wish me luck! Wait, forget the luck, wish me SKILL!!! Attached image(s)
