I have always loved the 914/6 GT's and will be converting this orig 6 (below) to an updated GT plus try to build a TTOD capable AX’r. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

It will be pretty much be a straight up racer, no heat, no radio, no nuthin, almost a full GT car but with no roll cage. To get to TTOD I felt that I needed a few things I did not already have, such as more rubber beneath me, more low end torque, closer gear ratios, LS diff, more tuneable suspension, body stiffening, yadda yadda, you get the drift.


This first pic is when I bought her in August 02, she's a factory six with a 3.2 and 915 trans, 911s suspension, was PCASDR 99 & 2000 AX champ for class HI.

My car came close to TTOD SCCA locally with a street legal car....and a damn good driver(not to be confused with me). (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

Your car is too damn pretty to do what I did in my continuing attemtps for TTOD. It would also be very uncomfortable to drive anywhere. You prolly don't have enuff fender to get the tire you need.....that's just a guess.
You risk breaking up your chassis without the stiffness required by monster tires.

Having said that, if you have a small enuff pond, it can be done with a street car, me thinks. Trekkor has done it...no offense, Trek. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

March 2005, Car is stripped except for wheels & steering wheel. Going to the sandblast booth here. We found that this car had 7 paint layers, mucho bondo, and a couple of really hack body repairs. We estmate that we removed over 100 lbs in paint, the paint was 3/16" thick! (Go back to the first post for a clue as to who did this custom (HACK) paint work.

my .02: black adds needed detail and makes a nice contrast to the silver you've chosen - hence black sail panel trim, rockers, and valences. Also, black between the fuchs spokes. Agree? Otherwise it reminds me of this crappy apt when I was in school. Between tenants they would shoot another layer of paint. But they wouldn't mask anything. Everything got coated with the same cheap shiny paint - walls, doors, trim, light switches, cat and dog...

May 2005 Some of the metal work completed. Note how the steel front spoiler is custom flared at the end to match the GT flares. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

I was wanting the same silver (w/ flares even), looks awesome! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

How well did they get in the area under the headlight buckets? That looks like it would be a total PITA. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif)

Andrew (the paint meister) is an artist, for hard to get areas I think he used a wand tip, kinda like a garden sprayer, plus he could turn the tub upside down purty easily.

Next pic: full shot of painted tub, on rotissere.
