I have to quit going out of town... I come back and there are a TON of nice cars new to the board!! WELCOME!!

Another conversion I am doing. Nothing fancy, just a 2.2T engine, 7&8x16 fuchs, glass flares (second time doing these and I am starting to like them). Otherwise stock. "M" sized 911 struts, re-drilled hubs. This is my 5th conversion and I think my 14th 914? All drivers of course, I don't do parts cars. I will post another picture as it gets closer to completion.

Thanks for the warm welcome ...

Given my car's previous owner is lurking here on this forum - I better not say anything bad about this baby!!



Pictures, diary and more - all coming soon!

For my current car history - take a browse here ...| Sandee's History of Cars |

Car looks great Sandee!

Jeff is making up a new iginition & FI harness. Soon as I'm up and running again, Id love to swing by and see your car. I see that it is blue now. On the PP site it looked purpleish for some reason. Nice color choice.

I've been lurking here for quite a while but just recently registered. This is my 1973 1.8. Nothing particularly special about it but it suits me. I love to hop in and cruise to relax after a rough day. Excellent therapy.

Happy Independence Day to all!

Randall

Welcome to the club slivel!

nice car! got more pics?

Andy

Promised some detail pics a while back....

Motor before it blew up at the glen on the 4th of july

front

front trunk

all business....

rear trunk cut out for access

bling bling wheels a little much but what can you do?

Wow! Very clean build

Unusual towhook location / set up

cheers,

Jeroen

Thanks, it was quite a few hours to get it in that kind of shape! The towhooks are actually hollow - welded c-channel, flat stock and a pipe. Wanted to tie them directly into the caging, and decided to go with a unique location. Unfortunately, actually needed the front hook last weekend

Ayup, we're gonna need more pics, Sivel. Don't think you can post too many

Thanks for the welcome into the club. I've attached another shot of the exterior with the new color scheme on the numbers. Don't have any engine or interior shots just yet - maybe later.

Steve

Two sweet rides!

Paul

wow! those are 2 stunning cars!

1973914: very awesome!

Thanks Wayne! Hard to keep positive after throwing a rod after only about 10 hours on the motor so the nice comments are really welcome. Anyone have a nice 3.2 lying around they arent using?

OH! check out this sweet green 914 with a 3.6 im chasing (and not losing all that much ground to) at the Glen...

What kind of engine is ( was ) this to chase a 3.6??

This is a PCA club race at California Speedway.

It was a 2.4 with about 200 hp, and in all fairness - the driver was really conservative and not pushing that hard! My car is pretty damn light though, and there is quite a bit more weight in the 6 drivetrain. Trust me, if they had wanted to leave me behind it wouldnt have been much of an effort. That green car (out of massachusetts I believe) was very nicely done. Lots of trick suspension and design work. Wish i had taken some close up pics!

Slivel - nice car, love 914 race trim in black...

1973914 ...200 HP is not too shoddy either . I feel the need to see a spec sheet on your car...engine, suspension, weight etc. The front wings (fenders) are one piece F/glass?

Engine = 2.4 with 0 HP , front patrick cooler vented like the factory GTs, euro pipes with jet hot, EGT and CHT guages to monitor engine conditions
Suspension = Koni adjustables all around, 19mm Sway in front, no rear, 200lb springs, A struts, boxster brakes in front, carrera brakes rear (m-wide),vented rotors all around
Weight - havent weighed it yet, but we are guessing about 2k, will know for sure sunday
Body - fiberglass all around except for the doors, fenders are one piece and dzuesed for easy of adjustments, cleaning, and replacement if needed or wanted.
Chasis - gt kit, long kit, tubing out to the suspension areas, any rust is gone

Really should have just done a 6!

Bill, that SUCKS......... I hadn't heard about the engine, and after all the work that you and Kurt put into it over the last year ....... Do you still have that 2.0 -6, or did you finally sell it? Good luck, let me know if I can help.

-Justin

Justin,

If you happen to have a 3.2 or 3.6 sitting around, that would be great!! Yeah the 2.0 went to a guy in Chi-town and from last note he is doing a nice rebuild on it. Actually bringing the car over to kurts on Sunday to drop the motor if you want to stop by...

Bill,
I guess i need to talk with Kurt when/if I do body work on my car before paint. Your car turned out great. Best of luck w/ the engine search!

Thanks again - BTW - No car this sunday at kurts - looking at next weekend. NOW - back to posting pics of cars!

Here's a picture of my yellow '70 1.7. I bought this car just about 3 weeks ago as seen. So far I've added the front rubber pad, and cleaned it up a bit. So far it works okay but needs a tune up, a 2nd gear synchro (and probably a slider and dogteeth as well), and a little rust repair. This is really a temporary car for me until I get my project car finished (see next post).

Here's the project car. Its an original silver '74 1.8 (will become a 2.0 when I finish rebuilding the free 2.0 I scored a wocuple weeks ago). I picked up this roller for free several months ago and while it has a couple of issues, the body is straight, there's essentially zero rust, and when I'm done with it, it ought to be pretty nice. I'm using parts off of my first 914 (AKAVW) which was a 1973 that succumbed to the rust gods. At the moment I'm looking for a place to do the blasting of my suspension components before I powder coat them.

Just thought I would slip in another picture of my 914 before it hits the paint shop. Flares are on, got all the pieces. Next photo will be a painted one. I am not a body man, so I did what I could and will let a pro finish it up for me. I think my work is about 90%, not 100%. Next will come putting in the 6 which I will post some pics of as well. I have a deadline of August 20th. Whistler weekend you know.

I thought I'd post a more recent picture of my car - different wheels, tires and a new muffer are about the only differences that show.

Hi All from "Downunder",
I've been lurking for a little while and have only just looked through the SEVENTY EIGHT pages of pics.

I've had my '72 for about 3 years but progress is slow

Bought it complete less motor, already converted to RHD (we drive on the correct side here ). I had the gearbox converted to side shift and bought a '70 911T (2.2) motor that has new P&C and (apparently) "S" cams.

There was some rust evident at the guard/cowl area which needs repair. After discovering several resprays I decided to go back to bare metal (stupid or what!) and found some more cancer in the front that had been repaired with bog (bondo).

Apart from that it has a not-perfect repair after a hit in the RH rear and the rest is very good!

cheers

Hi all,

New to list. Recently acquired car. PO is from SF Bay Area. Do not know much about history of car. Car was originally green and is on what I think is it's second red paint job. Car has a 3.2 with Webers. Sideshifter, S alum calipers, adj Konis, 7" and 8" with the rear being 285/45-15s. car has steel flares, GT front mounted oil cooler with ducting. Very nice bolt in roll bar. VIN is 9140430892. Car is straight, has had battery repositioned in trunk, some minor rust repair at orig batt location and under drivers seat in pan. The car has had some frame strengthening work performed but it does not look like any of the kits I have seen advertised. The reinforcement consists of gussets and addtional triangulation tubing around rear trailing arm mounting points. The paint is very nice but very, very red with a strange sort of yellow strip on the front hood. The car came with the gloss black roof as shown as well as a red roof painted to match the car. I will need to tone it down some as it is a little to boy racer for my taste.

I have driven the car about five times and am just starting to get into it. The car is very tight and fast but needs to have the carbs pulled apart and cleaned as it has sat for awhile. My plan is to get everything working well and continue detailing out the car. The car evidently has not been driven much since it was painted as the sideview mirror fell off and bounced into the bay the second time I drove the car.

Hope you all will put up with my questions as I will have many. This is my second 914. The first I had in college and I rolled it into a little ball. What was left of the car I buried. That was 20 years ago. I plan to use the car for weekend drives and a few local autocrosses.

nice car marinmcgreevy! me likes red 914s ...

i used to live in Mill Valley, up on Eldridge,
Andy

This is my '74 2.0. I purchased it about 2 years ago and I have never
enjoyed driving a car as much as this! The only thing I can imagine that would be better is if I had a 6 in it!

KC4IXI - nice car! I really like those 'chromies.'
