COTM – April 1 2014- Special Limited Edition for the 914World!!

Welcome to something new for the COTM contest. This special contest will be a competition for incomplete project 914s. Dream cars, competing head-to-head for an opportunity to be profiled on 914World on some page.

2. Car is NOT currently legal for street use, but definitely will be one day.
3. Open to any engine as long as there is a suggestion it once fired up.

the landing page has at least 3 other builds going on. Add them all?

Hmmm ...

How can it be car of the month time already... The last winner still isn't up on the home page... Haha where's Andy at...?

I have an incomplete project car, I don't think any of my other 914s were good enough to call a project. I've even been working on it!

yep, an incomplete limited edition. Just the story behind saving this one from the crusher is worth a nomination.

When I first read the title thats what I thought the goal was, but after reading more closely, I see that it is a limited edition of the COTM, and not just an incomplete LE.

Yee-haw!

longest thread ever in 3....2....1.........

Mine, as is, and the visualizers end result

I know it's an April fools thread, but it's a good idea. Might be the only way my car can be nominated. Let me dig up some pictures of what's going into it...since it'll probably take me a year or more to get it back together.

I think these are the first pictures on here on my project...
- 914/4 (originally a 1.7, then a 2.0 with carbs) converted to a /6
- Scotty fixed the rust, did some body mods and painted it!
- 2.7 CIS motor converted to carbs with this cool airbox
- 5-bolt hubs with Boxster brakes up front
- Setrab cooler and fans in the back to help cool, along with a new /6 oil tank
- M&K Sport exhaust hooked up to MSDS headers
- bits and parts from just about everyone on the board I've accumulated over the years.


But if I had to pick one, it would be the 914 limo for sure!!!

Gints -6

That contest should be for "The Longest Restoration on Record"!

Much tougher than normal. Have to look over and read the info on restorations .

Like it.. We're not just looking at favorites this time!

I only own 3 Fuchs...I appreciate the sentiment though. (Don't ask...they're in the basement under a tarp.)

Update: It says "Project owner MAY own 4 genuine Fuchs wheels, whether they can be mounted on car is not relevant."



Porsche built EVERY 914 in the time it's taken him to do that one. Hell, I'll have done 2...with a 6+ year hiatus in between.

I nominate Jamie's car. Clearly a lot of work left to do.

Yeah!

This is brilliant!

Sadly I have two projects that are eligible for this..

Bringing 914-6 back to original Irish Green:

I nominate the 914 Limo Project!!!!

Nomination period extended (I'm swamped at work).
Will check again after 9PM (so West coast has time after they get home from work.... at 4)
:-)

Keep 'em coming World.

Create a POTM. The guys that have completed their projects should be highlighted. How many "Projects" falter and are never completed?

Here is one for consideration:

I think this will be done some day and the Fuchs "may" be real so I think I qualify.

7 year effort .. 2.0 l suby turbo, Hotrod black, many Racer Chris pieces, PMB, 914 rubber, some stock car, some 911 , some Honda and corvette!!!!!

Anyone know where these calendars ended up? Any extras around?
