Smoggy is the one that got me involved with the 914 flow but rather than following through with the build, I pivoted to another 914. Thought this would enable me to immediately participate in the madness without the shame of constantly showing up in an ass dragger. So things have come full circle and smoggy is on the top of the project list. The name comes from it being a 76 and living in California. I got her from my friend @jeffdon with intention of making a track car. Yes, I am stupid enough to buy a 76 knowing I would need to smog but there are crazier thoughts abound. Most notably is swapping in a six from a 78 911 complete with CIS, cats and whatever else is needed to satisfy the man. Just a thought but for now the focus is getting the tub sorted. The car seems structurally sound with some hell hole and lower long needs. Was going to do a 1/4 floor but am now going a full back half. Smoggy has been off the road since the early 90's and stored under a tarp in Oakdale until I took over. Luckily, Jeff's dad would change the tarp yearly and from what I can tell, it survived time well. What's really cool about this project is all the support the local 914 peeps have given me. Chris ( @tygaboy ) and Robert ( @BuddyV ) have been instrumental and now I am confident I can accomplish this build. Most recently, Chris styled me with his rotisserie! Never worked on a car in this manner before. Game changer.. Anyway, I hope to keep this thread updated with progress but don't be surprised if I am inconsistent. Here are some pics to get this going.

We should all learn giving is just as good as getting from Tyga - while I'm on my out of 914's (but I do have half of one left - long story) for the moment to concentrate on Classic Mini's & helping out the new kids a la Chris, the Mini community has one named Andy
Thx for all the support Chris! |
