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?! |

Its been a while so here an update and some more questions:
The car has been mostly sitting, I been waiting on guy to come by check out the damage to pull out the corner. This weekend I took the time to get the rear bumper off and 'pry' open the rear trunk, to be able to move it. I also ordered and hunted down some parts, got a set of GT flares from AA and some proper 5 lug 911 conversion parts. I have some questions now, since I'm going into the sheetmetal/body work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) : - where are you getting wich panels from (fitment and best price...)(also 914 sheetmetal pieces seem hard to come by)? - the next question is about what front mounted oil coolers do you run and where and what lines do you run to the front (also asking that question since i have to fix the rockers...) |
