I like it. Not everything about it. But the basic idea. You can't blame the guy for wanting to start with a 914. It's the best affordable and abundant (on the coast) plateform ever built. I like the modern roofline. It's the first custom 914 I've ever seen with the targa bar removed that doesn't look hacked off. I like the 18" stagered wheels. The wheel style looks good on that car. This is a custom car. It's not for everyone.

I think it's OK. I've seen a lot worse in both the 914 and the Corvette worlds. Personally, I wouldn't call it a 914 unless it has more 914 parts than the doors.

Besides, anybody who has a Bulldog can't be all bad!

I think it shows alot of skill and craftsmanship...but lacking in the attention to detail it needs to be considered excellent. I have to take my hat off and say he did alot of cool things and the overall shape is quite successful. I don't like the front bumper openings (too busy...and the openings themselves are not identically shaped from side to side...which tells me he was in a hurry on the bumper/air dam portion of the project). The aero bumper side strakes look a little too cheesy as well. I'd pen a different front bumper design...get rid of the air intake on the roof and feed air through the side intakes for the engine. I guess we all have our own idea of what looks right...and I think this guy is getting close. How many guys out there are brave enough to do what he did???

It is not a CRX rear side window section for sure, look again at the comparison. I'd say most certainly a 914 base, you don't just PUT 914 doors on something else, think about how these things are shaped and how the hinge and latch mech has to work.

It certainly shows promise and has good lines. I'm with wbergtho that certain details are a bit cheesy and "Fast and Furious" looking for me.

I'd argue that, I'm 100 percent certain that's a CRX roof line, and rear section. I'd have to assume it's a CRX windsheild as well. It even has the rear tail section glass visible on the rear shot. I think the body work comes up higher on the side to thow off the visual.

I'm pretty sure this is a CRX all the way, besides doors, with a SBC stuffed in the back.
