Beautiful flared body. Great color too. Kudos to the team that designed and built this great car!

wow. Amazing.
I know it would've taken away from the 914 look, but I think it would look better if the raised front turn signal sections weren't there.
Half-assed photochop job:

Wow what a lot of work but it's very cool. We've had discussions about Boxster style radiator fitment but look at the size of those things! They would not fit easily under a stock 914 body.

I wondered the same thing. There are much better options.

At first I thought they should have found a donor in better condition but after going through the build photos they sure didn't use much of the 914. So it's nice they didn't cut up a "rust free" car.

The 914 body rides that chassis really high. Too high, to my eye and it looks like they cannot lower it any. Shorter rims might help a little but one almost needs steps to get into it.

Makes me appreciate how low the 914 really is (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)
