Last night on my commute home my '74 914 2.0 was hit in the rear by a Mercedes Sedan, the driver fled the scene (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) and my insurance company explained to me today, that yes, you are insured against uninsured drivers and therefore against hit and run accidents but only for medical expenses (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) , I guess next time I read the fine print better.
Now i need to fix the body and get a new paint job so I guess its time for the GT flares, 5 Lug conversion, Brake upgrade and Fuchs. I do have some questions that I hope to get answered: - Which are the best (probably steel) GT flares, also for the money? - Where do I get the best fibreglass bumpers? GTracing? - Do 8 inch fuchs fit in the rear? - Whats the best spindle and hub to use in the front, I do want to run at least SC Calipers and the matching vented discs? - What parts exactly of the 76/77 911 rear hub do I need for the rear conversion to five lug? I know these are a lot of questions I hope you guys can help. Thank you Cornelius PS Maybe somebody has seen something on the 91 west bound in LA on Friday around 6:50 pm?! |

Thank you all!
And thank you all for the advise! My biggest fear is, that the frame might not be straight and I am planing on getting that checked out as soon as possible. The GT conversion is happening right now, but at this point I think I might need to divide the conversion into two steps, build a 170 HP type 4 for now and go 6 later. A six is an expensive rout to go down. I am not sure at this point. What is needed for the six besides tank, mounts and headers. So if fibreglass bumpers are a no no, how do you do the oil cooler cutout in the front? |

So if fibreglass bumpers are a no no, how do you do the oil cooler cutout in the front? Sorry to hear of your misfortune,hopefully your car can come back better than ever. Some parts you will need of the top of my head; Throttle bellcrank conversion, muffler for headers (stock 911 is a reasonable option), 911 tacho,911 combo gauge or additional vdo 52mm gauges for fuel and oil pressure , 914/6 engine tin, oil tank breather hose and tank breather, oil lines, adaptors ,oil cooler (engine dependent), oil cooler ducting (engine dependent), engine return oil pipe, engine wiring loom, low pressure fuel pump,regulator and fuel hoses, flywheel,stock or conversion type (engine dependent),full clutch kit, rear shift rod, hand throttle for carbed engine, etc etc, Theres the obvious conversion to 5 lug and the brakes to go with them including hand brake modification, may have missed some thing but you should get the idea. Good luck getting your car straight again. |
