AJ at The Baja Shop did mine. He is in Corona now. I won't say what I paid as it has been 3yrs since completion so costs likely changed and what you want will dictate actual pricing, so let him quote you. If you go dual A front and rear it will be more than I had with the struts I already owned at the time and making the 5 link. I am converting to SLA front and rear now - no fault of AJ necessarily, just me changing my mind now.
Price comparos, keep in mind it has to be all custom built to fit inside of the 914, not a jigged and copied sand rail (that is what gets costs down, repetition of the same design). Also mine was specific to using the V8, if you go with a 4 or 6 cyl the layout has to be different to cradle that. Mine comes out the top and the whole rear comes completely off.
Byndbad914,
Thanks, reading your website started the Problem. I may have to give him a Call when I get back in Ca. I'm in Tupelo MS right now.
One of the people I'm working with Races Dirt Ovel and had a catolog.
Front end - Upper tube fully adjustable A-arm $125, tube lower arims $80, Shocks from $50 each to Coil overs complete $250, Than of course Ball Joints, Steering rack, Wilwood Brakes $125 per Caliper, Mustang II Spindles 2" Drop. looks like $2,000 for a complete adjustable Front end. I also saw in a Custom Street Rod ad, for a complete Chrome Mustang II front suspension for around $2,200.
Is there something inherently wrong with using Mustang II set-up? Or Current Mustang parts, It sure would save some money using Commonly avalible parts.
The Rear - Bearing Carrier, Bearings, heims, Shocks, and Brake system look to be about another $2,000.
Frame - Chrome or Mild Steel? I know Chorme is more expensive, stronger and lighter, but cost is twice to three times as much, but would require heat Treating.
Still kicking it around.
