In summary:
Found the car on Craigslist. Low mile, low rust, straight body. No holes in the hell hole. Longs are clean. A small miracle. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

After seeing Rick's "Alien" build, Felix's "Neo 914", and meeting "JLo", Andyrew, Sir Andy and other's rides.... I just gotta' get'er done!

OK, so the 10's go on the rear but i had to see how they fit on the front just for the fun of it.

very nice.

once again, big thanks to leo and mike mueller for the help and guidance. i learned lots of little tricks to get 'er done right. =-)

and i got to exercise my pizza making skills. mike does not like anchovies... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

I scored some Koni adjustables w/Coleman perch's and 140# Hypercoils. May need to go up on the spring rates later but until then.... also picked up the Sheridan rear flares today. they're so dang light!!!! the lady at greyhound asked me if i wold pick them up because they looked so big and heavy. i reached over and picked them up together with two fingers. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

this thing is going to be so bitchin'....
also going to pickup new CV boots for the 930 axles and expect the axle adaptors tomorrow or the day after.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif) i hope i can get to sleep tonight..... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

BTW.... everything you see here.... $200.00

HOLD ON HERE! I missed something. When did you get the 930 axels? Where did you get them from and how much did you pay for them? 930 adaptors, who supplied those for you, and what are you adapting them to? Sorry for all the questions but I have been following your great build and these are things that I could likely use on my re-build up.

hey paul,

craigslist.com is where i got the axles with good CV's and stubs. $40.00. patience paid off once again. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

before i started the 914 project i did lots of searching on this site for solutions to upgrading the weak links. although i don't see many people using the 930 axles. i don't know why. price? i think the 930 axles/CV's are more expensive unless you can find a deal. BTW, 110mm CV's will just barely fit thru the 914 arms.

the entire rear drivetrain assembly is now going to be a fresh flipped H gear 901, going into Patrick Motorsport axle adaptors, to 930 axles, CV's, and stubs, thru 914 swing arms, 5 bolt hubs, thru 911 vented/cross drilled/milled rotors, and "spaced" 914 calipers to retain the emergency brake.

just waiting on the PMS adaptors and bearings to put it all together!!!! Yea' baby!!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/boldblue.gif)

Let me know when your ready.
Just so everyone who reads this knows.
Roger let me use his rear bearings so I could get my car back on the road
and now he is waiting for another set to do his car.
Thanks Roger, without your help I would still be on jackstands. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pray.gif)

this rotor, part#901.352.041.14, needs to me machined down to 11.25" across to clear the spaced 914 calipers. 11.20" would be even better. =-)
