I would share my project with the world since I enjoy seeing what others have posted. The 914world has been big help in sourcing info, parts, and the car itself.
I thought about building this car for years, and finally decided to act on it. Recomendations and comments are welcome. Thanks, Michael Project Scope Body: 1973 narrow bodied w/ fiberglass bumpers Engine: Honda S2000 F20C (250 ps @ 8200 rpm) Transmission: Stock Front Suspension: 87 911 front end w/ Bilstein Sports, 22 sway bar Rear Suspension 250 lb springs on bilstein sports, poly bushings Wheels: 15x7 with R compound Brakes: 87 911 Carrera F&R This is how it looked when I first got it. Brought this home from Southern Caifornia. The transport company rolled it up in the yard since it had no brakes. Repaired hell hole Reinforced rear suspension console Removed sound deadening from the floor and prepping for POR15 Rear fiberglass bumper fitted I hope to be installing the drivetrain in September, that is if Murphy's law quits getting me. The flywheel from KEP is several thousands too small to fit on the crankshaft so I need to get that resolved first. |

To wallys914,
I went thru your build thread. Awesome. After seeing your thread I came close to buying that tube bender and doing my own cage. Wish that bender came with a 6 inch die radius though. Things are going slow and it's hard to see the finish line. I'm tempted to go in on the group buy for the steel GT flares, but I have more than enough to do as it is. I completed fabing the engine mount, but I plan to stiffen the chassis before installing the engine. That's what I am currently working on. Instead of building a full cage, I plan to traingulate from the fire wall to the longitudnal and rear shock tower. No bends will be required and it will also minimize the weight added. I will post pictures when done. Here is my engine mount setup. I got the rear suspension and brakes assembled too. Also added early light weight doors. Now it is offically a roller again.
