Wow, I figured this had been lost during the great forum split of aught-7. Started another progress thread over on the NARP board but I guess I'll continue here also..

Ok, decent progress lately, its amazing what warm weather and a little sunshine will do to your motivation.

Rennsport rebuilt my 901, calipers, installed poly bushings, and new ball joints. All parts are home now waiting to be re-mounted...

914 candy..

started fitting up the HPH flares for the rear. These are really nice pieces, very happy with this purchase...

Just the right size, the meat will tuck...

The idea here is to keep the original wheel well molding on the lip of the flare so it matches the front. I think the lip adds a little character to the lines...

Have to finish welding in the stiffening kit before I get to crazy with the flares just yet. One side is pretty much buttoned down but I haven't got the pics yet. More to come....

I like those flares, too bad they don't come in metal.

Just give me heads up when you are coming up this way, I'm there working on it almost every weekend now. As far as that goes, anyone in the area that would like to come check it out or lend a hand is always welcome to join me. Its pretty much just me and sometimes my dad working in the shop.

Made a little more progress this weekend, removed the cracked dash, guages, and heater junk. Started removing the tar pad with a heat gun and scraper (heat gun is the only way to go on this part). Welded up a few more rust holes, and thought up a different roll bar idea which I will keep to myself until I have something to show on it... The rust patch photos are pretty boring so I have nothing to show right now...

i just read this thread, and i like the idea of moving the gas tank forward and using the gas tank area as a trunk. i wonder how much a custom tank to fit along the bulkhead would cost. the reason i like this idea is so i could put AC in my car. i also wonder how well the bulkhead could be cut out, remade amd moved forward to make the "trunk" bigger. the tank and radiator would not need the whole front trunk

Whats up Curt indeed.... well for starters, i DO still have this project believe it or not. and it is still in about the same condition it was in the last photos posted.

What is it now, 2011 almost 2012? So since the last post in 2007 I've... gotten married, moved, had my first kiddo, bought anothter BMW project, became BMWCCA VP for this region, started a Cars and Coffee style meet in Tulsa, swithced jobs, almost finished the BMW project, bought a Zuki Samuai 4x4 project crawler, gave up the BMWCCA VP spot, developed a color guage display used in the new McClaren MP4-12C GT3 race car, moved the 914 from dads shop to storage, and now starting the floor plan for a new house WITH shop so I can get crackilackin back on the 914. So really, I've just been procrasterbating...

Last month we went on our second anual fall drive for Caffeine and Gasoline ( for you facebookers http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Caffi...sa/369311772902 ) and with all the exotics zipping around me I started thinking how fun it would be to have the 914 out here in the middle of it all to see how it stacked up with the subie motor. How frustrating would that be for a Lambo owner to have this irritating little 39 year old 914 right on his azz the whole trip? hehehe, I could almost feel the horns sprouting through my forehead...

So with a lul at the office I have been jumping back into my build research and getting that old excitement back. Plan might be to sell off the BMW to have the instant fundage to dive head first into the 914 again. The Samuai stays because it fills a different driving need!

Pics:
*BMW project in the front, fall drive group last month.
*Lil G in his first car, he's going to be an F1 driver by the way.... he will appreciate the pic with the Pantera one day...
*The zuk in the garage now, getting a motor upgrade and many other goodies, can't leave well enough alone...

This is by far the longest and laziest build in the history of 914's. I DO still have this project believe it or not and it is still in storage waiting on free time and room to finish it up.

My Caffeine and Gasoline club is taking up a lot of my time to manage events and meets but has introduced me to a few other 914 owners in the area like Mike Fugate who is working on his 3rd. Here is our FB page with events and photos, this was one of my buddies doing a hill climb at our "Marble City Mayhem" event in June...

The Samurai is almost finished, and since my last post I've added another P car to the garage...

Just this past weekend I did start going through all of my parts stash for the 914 and found I have a lot more finished that I remembered. If I just had the room to get this thing spread out and assembled it could be rolling again under power within 6-9 months.... time and money / money and time... ugh...
