Back when I was your age, me and some other guys from the 914 club site would all get together at someone's house, and we'd all bring the sawz-alls.

And we'd proceed to cut a 914 into parts small enough to fit into trash cans.

Sometimes the 914 would have a dent in a fender, or a small rust hole under the battery.
But that's was about the extent.
totally solid other than that. We'd just end up buying a running teener for a grand or less, part it out, and cut up what was left.

It's a good thing we didn't take pictures of the carnage, some of youse would go completely bat-shit crazy if you saw them!

Whenever i see someone go to great lengths to save an old rusted teener, I think of that.

Nice job! Judging by your last build, you should be done next week.

Your work is masterful and we sincerely appreciate the high skill and thousands of hours you invested in building this 904 inspired 914. Craftsmen like you are more than worth their weight in gold, and any restoration shop would bid high to get a person of your talent


Years ago when 914s were not worth much and body panels to repair them were still very expensive we designed this fiberglass kit to replace the four fenders and give the 914 a 904 inspired look, we sold many of the kits as a way to save an otherwise scrap 914 THEN the cars came up in value and we made our GT steel flares, and discontinued the 9014 project

Just an incredible journey through metalwork Well Done (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)
On a side note...your working area is small, about the size of space my personal projects get built in at the shop. On various media sites that I surf around I've seen insanely good muscle car, race car and show cars built in home garages, rental storage sheds, etc. It just goes to show that if you are talented, you can probably build it in a basement ...a bit tough to drive a restored '65 Mustang out of that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

ok had to bump this due to the recent link on other thread linking it, and having seen but forgotten, it should not be forgotten, in fact, i think that in the spirit of the upcoming 2021 Build off thread and contest , I hearby nominate this as the
2017-2019 Build off Champion/Special project build winner - or honorary COTY(CAR OF THE YEAR 2020/50th anniversary ? i know we just voted and have a new COTM but i think this needs a sticky, anyway - nominated for COTY

btw hope you are doing well in Norway, any new projects to share??

Phil
