It's street legal! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
All of the niggly bits are being completed, will post photos as the punch list is addressed. Hit an unfortunate snag with the roll bar: factory GT roofs are bolted in place, I thought it would be nice to take the roof off occasionally. So we need to modify the bar because the latches aren't accessible, not sure we'll get that done in time for Highlands next month. Stay tuned.  |

Probably my all-time favorite non-dealer license plate frame for a Porsche. Car looks great - you'll get there and it'll be exactly like you want it!

Thanks Brian, my favorite too... have them on all five of our Porsches!
Door cards and rubber mats came out nice, will fit the Perlon next. Had planned to make a box for the passenger door, but found these mesh pockets on Amazon for cheap so applied to both doors.   |

@Bullethead ...Russ, have your fabricator make these compound bends of the Left + Right ends on the top bar, a bit of work>> but I like it when the 914 tops can be removed. OE latches work with this design.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Thanks, was just out for an evening drive and something similar jogged in my head. Moving the top tube inward a couple of inches will clear the latches, and the cross tubes can be moved down to accommodate.

Russ, Looks great. I love the attention to detail.
Mine is at about the same point as yours. Ready for glass and interior trim. I am using Chris Foley's (Tangerine Racing) GT roll bar. Test fitting seemed to indicate that there will be enough room for the rear Targa latches. Fingers crossed on that. |

Trunk is done, fancied up a bit with a Perlon mat. Restoring the jack. Installed Porsche crest, new wheel. Off to a four-wheel alignment next Tuesday...
