Hi guys
I sold my previous track car and decided to buy a 914. Key features that sold me on the 914 -old -light -rwd -mid engine My previous track car was a riot and difficult to class in different organizations. I bought the 914 because it will be easier to class due to the "simplicity" of the build. This will be primarily a track car however it will be street legal with creature comforts. I am located in WNY, so old classics are scarce and the ones that did survive are on the verge in splitting in half or fully restored. Since I am an older college student, finding one in decent shape will be hard. I found this guy in California and had it shipped to me. While the pics looked great, I totally overpaid and it was a rusty bucket with a maco paint job. I bought this from Beverly hills car club and sales guy told me there was no rust and it was a solid car. What a load of of bs... It was also my fault for being naïve and putting faith in humanity. Next time ill go 3rd party and look at it person. Lesson learned. Moving on... First order of business was to replace all the rust and fab a roll bar. |

Excellent fab work!!! Definitely interested in the dimple dies! What CAD program are you using for your 3D printed parts? If interested, I could use some design help on a custom intake manifold for my 3.5L all aluminum Olds V8 that I will be twin turboing in my 72 914. I am currently fabbing an intake from 1/2" 6061 Aluminum plate and 1.5" X .120 wall aluminum tube for the individual runners to plenums over each valve cover. The plenums will each contain an air to water intercooler to keep the cold side turbo to plenum run super short. Also, I am building a custom aluminum oil pan with an oil sump with four flaps to help the oil in the sump under all situations. Would love to 3D print the valve covers as well!
