914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Factory Five 818 build

I thought this was an interesting kit car build and car. Reminded me of a newer version of a 914 or 916. Check out the video.

Guess this thread doesn't belong in the Garage - but further reading found here:

Seems pretty cool after reading about it for 5 minutes.

GRM has been doing a writeup of their build of an early kit. I'm pretty sure the car is running around by now--the publication of articles seems to lag the actual work by quite a bit.

Mine is in a warehouse waiting for me to finish my 914. I was planning on doing it this winter, but I think the 914 is going to take that up. I'll post a build-thread here in the sandbox when I'm working on it.
