Wear gloves....don't be barefoot and standing in water...
The California State University at Long Beach Engineering Deptartment produced a electric 914 as part ofa senior class project.
It has been written up in several publications and the school may provide you with the written stuff.
They may even have the car
.... ahem.... (check the sig below)
Where is the kit from? I might be able to give some pointers.

Yup that's me.
Sounds like a kit from Electro Automotive, I think they are the only ones making Electric 914 Kits. If that's the case then Shannon is your man for first hand info.
If it's not a specific 914 kit, but a universal kit of some type, then get ready for a lot of work.
Have fun!
yea wll be a change from the daily grind
I'd love to build an electric 914 but the price keeps me away. The Voltsporsche kit costs $14K:

Is there a way to do it a lot cheaper?
Of course the cheapest way is probably to buy a 914 with the kit already installed.

AH, I see. That price was for the AC dirve kit.
Scroll down the page for the DC kits. The 914 DC kits is 8,995.00. plus batteries. (under $2K for those)
what's the RANGE on these things? can't make a 3 hour trip.... I'd love to do that one
I don't know what a 3 hour trip is. Does that mean driving in circles at the local racetrack or driving I5 at 2a.m. at 95+ mph? (I just don't know WHO would do THAT! )
I'm getting (WAS getting before my controller blew) on the order of 60 to 80 miles per tank at freeway speeds. I'm using old school lead acid batteries however - a 'lead sled'. Throw some serious cash in there and get some Li-ions. Range would probably be in the 300+ miles at freeway speeds.
And between my new welder and the company I work for getting bought out :smiliewithdollarsignsforeyes: I'm thinking of starting a new 914 conversion from the ground up.
holy cow....i'm talking 65-75 mph for 100-200 miles....but usually i just tool around the city.....whats serious cash?
