Hey guys, am pretty new here, mostly a pelicanite. Just like to share some photos of my 'projekt 908' which i have been working on for a year or so. I started with a basket case 914 with a standard 2.7 conversion, that had been languishing under it's PO. I had the desire to create something unique and personal, and learn how to be a better welder and fiberglass worker in the meantime. I have always thought the 914 could look must better with a little tweaking... namely a lower roofline and better front end. The 908's front end was always so simple and classic, that it seemed a natural. Started with
Then added some flares and centerlock wheels

Then built a front end out of foam and plater based on photos of the 908/3

pretty impressive sculpting! Pic problem is probalby size. Works best to bring them down to the 600 pixel range before posting. You can then put multiples in one post.

Did you or do you still have the mold(s) for the front end/Bumper? I would be interested in possible getting a bumper if you can make one?

Thanks.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Thanks andy. My schedule is crazy and dont have a lot of time for posting stuff (barely can work on the car after my biz day ends) but my buddy and i might be able to make a couple of front ends if anyone interested. I will post more pix of the entire project as we move along (inlcuding of the centerlock set-up which will have old-school 908/917 style centerlock nuts on satin black rims). Still having pix diff (seems like i reach my limit) so look on pelican for more pix.

Looks good. Do you know if the new front end is more or less weight than it was originally? What are you going to do for a windshield?

The front weigh about 40 lbs or so (havent weighed yet)... based on all the sheet metal and that boat-anchor bumper, the weight loss seems great. I live in a beach town, with lots of boat building and repair shops (my partner and advisior in this builds and repairs boats in his spare time), so i made a cardboard template of the 'new' windshield and went to a shop that makes custom boat windshields. The made one perfectly, plus side windows out of 1/4 laminated plexiglass in about a day.
