The Gods of Fabrication and All Things Cool command you:
Thou shalt not abandon the doors of gull wing-ness! And from little ol' me: "Cage that bad boy and let's see V2!" |

thanks Tygaboy, another issue to ponder... my car is up for inspection. It is registered and insured but needs a sticker. No way I was going to get a sticker with a broken windshield right? the next issue is that the tech would never, never, never pass the doors. certainly not on v1.
they are already going to have to overlook many features and upgrades. My plan is to get these doors back to normal. one is already done. Then get the glass and sticker applied and look into the cage and v2 of the gull wing doors. This time I am thinking mandrel bent support arms and very nice hinges. I have even figured out a way to incorporate a stationary air intake on the roof with the doors being able to move and no gap for the roof. v2 will also still allow me to remove the targa portion and let the sky in. have you been able to really push your car yet? the power of these 914's with a modern efi v8 is insane. |

Awesome Gullwings, I want that door conversion. I would pay you to convert mine, but I am all the way in California. Could we make some arrangements?

QUOTE(ri914 @ Oct 16 2020, 07:40 PM)  Got the seats and the exhaust ready for testing. Now I just need to get some help on the wiring for the headlights (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) planning the attack Testing some bends Plenty of clearance Looking good for a 30min test exhaust... Parts were acquired via amazon for under 200.... Enough material left over to still build about 4 more exhausts. Cool build. I have an LS1 and the Boxster tranny with Boxster brakes all around as well. Where did you source your parts from the trans axle flanges all the way to the wheel and what car models were they sourced from? Brett |

I called Renegade for all my conversion parts. 914 world members supplied all the 914 items for new or hard to find items I think I literally called everyone. in the 914 community. ben- |

Awesome build!! In case I missed it, have you added any chassis reinforcement to this beast? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)
Just a heads up in case you haven't addressed this: waaay back in the day (80's?) there was a 914 twin turbo SBC VW & Porsche magazine cover car. It was FS here a few years ago for cheap. ( I seriously considered buying it). One of the reasons it was so cheap was the prodigious amounts of power and torque the powertrain generated caused the floor pan and long welds to literally pull apart on that car despite attempts to half ass weld in some bracing after the fact. |
