Site blocked at my work, I'll check at home.
My wife is in the interior architecture/design field, so your work hours are something I understand. Sometimes I have to give her quick updates on what's going on in the world/news.
Good to have an update from you!

Hey Everybody,
I just wanted to check in and see how everybody is doing. Finally the end of the Anklebiter's long hiatus is drawing to a close. I just started my last semester at UPenn, which means this summer will see my joyful return to the garage!

My father was a Seattle architect. Good luck and may you finish many projects. Especially in the Porsche variety. You have to have something besides fame and fortune.

Congratulations Dana! New baby! New sheepskin! New job! That's the trifecta. Looking forward to seeing you in the NW. Do you know where you'll be living yet?
BTW, if you need some storage space I can always move Greenie's 911 outside to make room for the Anklebiter.

I'm still new around here (though I've technically been a member for a while), but can we even call this a 914 anymore? It looks about 15% 914 and the rest is completely custom and Subie powered. Just a thought and maybe it came up in one of the other 53 pages that I haven't gone through completely, lol. Very interesting build, that's for sure!

If it walks like a Duck and quacks like a Duck then yes, we can call it a 914.

If it has more than a quarter million views on a 914 site it might be a 914

I'f I'm remembering right this is the ORIGINAL Renegade Subaru car. The one in many of the videos. Orange with polished Fuchs. He then made a few "tasteful mods". It's gonna be awesome when done.

I will start to follow this with a lot of interest!

Getting a lot of attention on the road and lots of questions at gas stations, makes me excited to get this thing on the road under its own power!

Congratulations of finishing school and getting back to the project. I have missed this thread and the building of your dream car. The project is one of the more interesting items on the board and will be back following it with extreme interest.
Welcome back!

Geez Dane, you could have used "wreck wrap" in blue
you know, you should really print out some cheap Gucci-flage and hide certain aspects of the car as you drive - all of us here could sign a non-dosclosure and giggle like crazy when the car mags start their coverage

Exactly, give me a 100 year old house over a new one any day! The shop isn't huge, like a one and a half car. Luckily the huge chassis fabrication projects are behind me, mostly going to focus on getting the chassis running and driving next so space shouldn't be an issue. The shop is super old, with good character, just need to hang a bunch of crap on the walls and it should be perfect!
