Hi everybody from Norway.I'm starting a new project here as I found the remains of a 914 for 300 usd.It was cut into three parts to make it easier to bring it to the scrap yard.I lost my job,so I have plenty of time and less money.
This car has nearly nothing left of the outside body panels,so I feel free to make some fun out of it.There is very much structural rust to fix first and thanks to Brians Machine Service I have a 911 roof I want to weld on top of the 914 chassis.
This is a long term project I want to shear with you.I have a plan....
Lets put on some good music in the workshop and start up the welding machine.

Ahhh,the holidays are over and getting something done on this little bastard.Hoping to do the last welds on the tail tomorrow.Planning to work a little on the chassis soon.Easier to move it around when its drivable,but still waiting for the transmission to arrive from Florida.

I really hope that I am wrong, but I can't help but think that we are being punked here.

This truly is stunning - not only the quality of the work, but how fast you work as well! I'm utterly impressed.

If the other guy cutting up a perfectly good racecar to make a 904 ends up with something half as decent, I'd be astonished.

That was my thought.

He apparently has a history of quality metal work and you can clearly see the 914 chassis under the new "904" sheet metal. I'm curious what bigkensteele is seeing that causes him concern?

So, he's from Norway, worked for a mining company, then worked offshore in the North Sea... sounds like a Viking Blacksmith! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

Give it a rest. This incredible thread has nothing whatsoever to do with your issue.

Go back to the first page. The first picture is of a rusted out 914, two days later is has suspension, tires, and a 911 roof welded on. That's a lot of work in 2 days. I don't think we are seeing this built in real time, at least not the beginning of the build.

I don't care one way or the other.

Fact is the builder has skills and it is an epic build. Carry on.....

One of the following posts stated that the first image was a few months before the roof/welded together chassis because he wanted to make sure he could save the car before posting. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Can't wait to see a picture of the body outside from further away! The proportions looks really good.
