I had a buddy of mine make a curved clear plastic shield for a prototype I was making at work. He made a mold the same way he did for fiberglass, i.e. out of wood, but then coated in bondo and sanded and polished to a high gloss. Sheet of plastic went into the oven (and I can't remember if it was acrylic or poly, nor the temperature...) then we pulled it out and layed it over the mold and let it cool. A lot of elbow grease went into the mold, but the process was simple.

Then again, the Datsun 240Z just left the headlight cuts open.

I wouldn't bother the local DMV with such minor adjustments as adding a steel roof,two extra cylinders,smaller trunk and different headlights.Other than that its an original 914,as I see it.
Mbsteo,I'm going to try something like that...should be doable.
Thanks for the support.
Now its Stout time in the Værste....workshop.

Starting to complete the tail with some finish welding and a lightweight trunk.Maybe now is the time for removing the engine and put some paint on the rear end of the chassis.

Am I the only one impatient for an update on this amazing build? It's almost like I need a weekly fix. Okay, not almost. I need a weekly fix. There. I said it.

It's just a 914 with a couple updates. Nothing to see here folks. Move along. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
The factory did a car with a steel roof and unique headlights. Must have been a rare option. Right?

Yeah it's just an old car that's been in an accident. He's doing the best he can to repair it with what he has available (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) ?

Attached Image Attached ImageAttached ImageBeen repairing a crashed -42 Harley that I delivered back to a happy owner a couple of days ago.Had to earn some money.....Food and wine,you know.In September I bought a side shift trans in the USA for this project.I found out recently that it wasn't even sent yet.I feel a bit punked myself.The good news is that I had a nearly empty side shift housing and a tail shifter that looked like junk.But when I decided to look inside the junky trans,it was like new.Nothing wrong at all and thanks to german engineers it was no problem to make one good trans out of the parts.
Hope to make the car drivable now.I installed the wiring too.No work on the body for a while.
Didn't know the rear control arms had hollow axle's.Cant be the only 914 in the world with rusted through axle....scary.

Did you buy the transmission from 914World or another site? if so, you need to call out the seller.

Yes,I bought it from this site,but he wouldn't send the trans outside USA.
So he sent it to Florida where its now at a little shipping agency.
Going to mount the engine/transmission into this Rural Outlaw tomorrow.Need an oil tank and some wires and fire it up????

Aluminium is dangerous stuff...you get addicted....have to make at least one new part every day.The last is glovebox,engine cooling tin,puke tank and generator strap.Seems like I must do something with the springs in the rear.Lost too many kilos.Way too high at the moment.
Changed my mind about the color and bought a bucket of Ringebu-white.
