914 bodykit, Slant nose Options

[boxsterfan]

Find a cheap 914 (perhaps one that was originally a 1.8 or 1.7L car) and slap the Rayco kit on it. Then put a Suby motor in it. Bet it would be a fun car.

Possibly I just have too many projects at the time and best bet would probably be just to sell it.

[hyespeed]

Well if anyone is interested make an offer. Thanks.

GLWTS. IMHO, that kit is a wee bit obsolete. To put that on a cheap 914 means that the car is a rust bucket. It's like putting lipstick on a pig. I'd rather have an intelligent friendly pig assuming I have a farm. Those kits just reduce the value of the car especially if the car requires major restoration to begin with. All the cheap 914s require tons of overhaul.

So what's this worth? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Put that on a lift for inspection, but keep your eyes closed.

Not bright and not polite, but luckily none of us need to rely on your intelligence or kindness.

My apologies. It's been a bad day. I'm simply one of those idiots who believe in keeping a car stock to retain its value. Forgive me for offending you.

Apology accepted. There’s no truth as to whether a modified car is more variable than a stock one. It’s pretty much why Baskin Robbins makes 31 flavors. So many factors. This car will outhandle and blow the doors off of any unmolested 914, even a 914-6. I’m after the driving experience, not money at sale or the approval of purists. I was just amazed that you seemed to know what her belly looked like and her level of rustiness.

So how is the workmanship with the modification? Is the car rust free? I ASSUMED, like an old asshole, that the "quality" of the car went backwards. I've seen so many modified cars over the years where the quality was severely compromised. Again, please accept my apologies. So what's under the hood (as they used to say)?

Done probably 30 years ago or more to what must have been a very solid teener when they were dirt cheap and unloved and when the Rayco kit was the rage. Dr. 914 , George Hussey, of Auto Atlanta says these were superbly made kits. It was very well done. It’s a JDM EJ20K STI making around 280 HP. 225 meats, reinforced unibody, handles better than the Lotus Europa I had or any of my previous 914s.

Very cool indeed. My neighbor has an AM DB9. The link to your website doesn't connect. FYI. An error on my end perhaps. Have a nice evening. And as Harrison Ford says in the latest Indiana Jones movie: "Thanks for putting up with me."

Good luck with that. George & I go way back. I haven't talked to him in awhile. He's always been very helpful.

I'm not sure how this 2017 thread was revived but I'll jump in...

I have the Rayco instructions as well as a couple color photos of the kit installed mailed to me by Rayco Inc. I guess I requested the packet years ago (it's post-marked 1997). These aren't for sale but I would be happy to scan them and send them to you or link them here if you're interested.

[technicalninja]

I (sort of) am the reason this thread got revived...

I advised Kenshapiro2002 to PM the original poster in this thread to find out if he still had it as the last post in 2017 said "offers please".

I advised this was a long shot...

I did not say "bring this back from the past and get into arguments with other members on the validity of this body kit."

I was trying to help a member get the kit he wanted, not create extra stress in the forum.

No worries mate. My sense of humor can be very dry & is often misinterpreted. When I used to do stand up comedy at the Bottom Line in NYC, I'd have to remember to keep it wet & juicy.

I am not a fan of that look, but I wouldn't say it doesn't have a market. If your 914 is already kitted and your panels are beat maybe this would be a refresh? Going back to stock panels for a chopped car is a really expensive proposition and would put you way underwater.

It’s a free service that comes along with any discussion of body kits. Just ask Emery (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Looks like TargaToy can cover Ken’s WTB request for Literature with free scans - can’t get much better than that. Seems like a typical 914World success story unless he absolutely wants paper copies.
