Vegas914-V8
SO, I have a 914 V8 conversion project I've been working on for some time now. Started with no kids and no bills.... now I have two kids and just got divorced ha-ha so the car has been on hold for around a year, should be knocking it out soon.

any tips, comments, advice, hate messages, somebody that wants to buy it when im done?

I literally have no reason to keep this as it wont hold me and my two sons, leaving this as a "alone time" ride. Plan is to finish the build, and then find a buyer or trade for a crewcab chevy truck (Hopefully).

I'll put up more photos when I get around to taking some..... car is mostly sanded to metal at the moment... the random paint colors are from me spraying it to keep the metal that I exposed when I flared the fenders from rusting while it sat.

Complete so far...... sheeplove.gif piratenanner.gif WTF.gif

That's a nice setup!
I'm in Vegas too. Are you trying to get rid of it now, or later after it's done?

Either way. I need to get a new truck so that's what I was hoping to finish and trade for a crewcab, but you never know. if the price is right ill sell it anytime. I have fun working on it, just no reason to keep it after it's done anymore.

By the way. I also have some stock parts laying around if you are in need for your car. Just let me know if you need anything and ill see what I got.

Noticed your manifold is an air gap. Was there enough clearance to shut the engine lid? Looks like a fun project.
