Next I am going to rebuild the structure that attaches the front hood structure to the nose of the car and make some headlight filler pieces.



Awesome work as usual. Such a cool build.

Pic above reminds me: Why does the 914's nose always look so good when the headlights and their trims are missing? There's just something right about those voids in relation to the other shapes of the front end.

Not that I know what to do with them...other than fill them or reinstall the headlights.

I totally agree, I was admiring the proportions of those openings as well, but yeah what do you do with that information is a harder question.

Transferred them to steel.

Tacked them in.

Finished the welds to about 90% and shaped the front edge, need to rethink the cowl separation line next then we can do a test tilt with the complete nose!

I always wanted to shave the popup headlights. But they have grown on me and they are a part of the soul of the car. Don't look back I guess. Where will the new headlights go? Not that DOT matters. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Totally missed this—apologies. Your Vector-style pop-down headlights are a genius idea...would provide a change to keep the shape of 914 headlights without the "busy" brow.

do u still have your break active spoiler....? can you please share more information on it


I may make another one, that was a relay logic board (would use an arduino now) powering a couple linear actuators attached to a cut portion of the original trunk lid.
didn't have it for long, can't even find a pic!

I thought that video was so cool. That brake looked functional.
