I'm so glad you started this thread1 Grafting the factory fender lips onto flared rear arches (while keeping the front end stock) is exactly what I want to do, but I've never seen another 914 done that way.
Can't wait to see this with wheels on it, but if you could post a few more pics showing the front and rear arches together, I'd be grateful...

Heres a closer look. The big relay board is because I am protecting old switches from high current....

And here is the relay box...

Who makes this relay box? I've not seen one quite like it before and it looks nicer than the Bussman boxes typical in the US.

I got mine here:-
https://www.12voltplanet.co.uk/mta-modular-...ing-system.html

Its made by MTA. Really nicely made although the two relay box and the multi relay box come with different stands so I had to make extra legs to put the 2 relay base at the same height as the other one..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

All - thanks for the encouragement! When you set off down a different path you never quite know how it is going to be received. With several "standard" cars in the garage, I was very keen to have something a bit different. Lets see how it turns out.

John - hope you are well and coping with COVID restrictions?

Nick - I hope when that Scottish tour takes place you find time to stop off in Banchory! You would be most welcome, and a joint blast up Royal Deeside would be fun (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Ill post more pics showing the sides of the car with standard front and modified rear arches. The genesis for this was a comment from a respected previous owner and car builder who advised against going too big on the tyres without enough power. Im going 6 and 7J x 16inch Fuchs and just waiting for the lockdown to ease to try the best tyre combinations. We have a local mobile tyre dealer who has said he will work with me to find the best wheel/tyre combination. I'm thinking 205/55 at the front and 225/50 at the rear as a starting point. I am hoping for 150 bhp from my 2.2L engine. Might be time for some pics of that although its not quite finished.....

The electrical work progresses largely according to my plan....its slow going building the loom in the car. Every wire needs to be terminated one end, run in the car, fitted, cut to length and then terminated at the other end. With crimps, and double heat shrink each termination takes a while....my supply of cheap tie wraps is also disappearing fast..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

The GT headlight system looks pretty good and works well after a lot of fettling.....
