Figured if I didn't do it now, I was never gonna. Spoiler is gonna be done a tad different then the way everyone else does it.


In the shop

test Fit



Eww, big gap....


Prepped for bonding


Bonded with 3M panel Bonding adhesive. This is just to keep the spoiler in place untill glass and kittyhair can be used.


more updates to come.

Wow! Your car looks great.

Beautiful car!!!

What wheels are those?
Thanks for posting.

JongBloed Modular 15X7's. probably one of the only remaining 4 lug sets in North America according to the manufacturer.

I 2nd THAT. Is the front trunk some of the "fake carbon fiber"?

...and the award for the best looking 4 lug rims on a 914 goes to CrashDown.
They sure do look good.

Love the molded rear bumper set up YO !!!!!

Yea it's a 3M Di-Noc viyl wrap. Hood got discolored from the electrical fire a few years ago.

Unique 4 lug wheels > The same 5 lug wheels everybody else has.

Still holding out for "Car Of The Month" though.

More cutting, grinding, and bonding today.











There's foam work to do tomorrow.

-Matt

Bring on the foam




next step is to cut off the excess and prep the spoiler and the surrounding sheet metal for Fiberglass.

Nice approach. I like it.

Didn't I see this car at the Parts Heaven swap meet a few years ago? If it is, how about some pics of the interior?

Yea same car. Wasnt able to go this year. To busy with projects for customers.

Got the spoiler glassed in today. it's not pretty ATM. But it'll all get anded down and prepped for bodywork tomorrow.

Holy switches Batman. Which one is the ejector seat?

Factory switches went bye-bye when I had the electrical fire a few years ago. that switch panel replaces everything but the wiper switch which made it though unharmed. Now everything is double fused.

What does double-fusing have to do with electrical fires. If you don't mind rehashing the incident?

From what were we able to figure out, a short started in the Column, then traveled through the switches. But instead of blowing the switches and stopping there, the short traveled through the front half of the harness and cooked everything. Discolored the paint on the good from the flames, toasted the front trunk. Had to redo everything, from the gauges foward. Made a completely new wiring harness from a brand new looking harness I came across at a swap meet a few years ago. So now all the switches are fused twice, cuz Im paranoid. Once at the switch panel, and again at the fuse panel, before the wires head to elect. units at the front of the car.

Most people will shake their heads. I dont really care. I've put too much time into this car to have a total of 3 electrical fires so far from PO's shitty wiring.

look'n good

Very similar to mine, looking good...

Aaaaaaaaaaaand Done.....









Trunk lid still needs to come forward and to the left a bit, but in order to do that I need to elongate the holes for the engine lid and move that forward first. Not in any rush though. She's painted and back on the road!

I like it. It looks like it belongs there, not stuck on

Beautiful work there... nice job!!!!

You know...it does look cool.

Somehow and I hope the owner doesn't take it wrong....

IMHO...the white CAL plates might look better instead of the orig blues ironically enough.

I agree that the newer white Cali plates look good on Ivory White 914s. But that might be because I have an Ivory White one with the new plates. If I had original plates I might feel differently.
