The collection knowledge on this board is pretty impressive - so here's the question - I know that I want to build a GT clone car. It doesn't need to be a dead on replica of a real GT (I simply don't have the budget for it), but I want it to be reasonably close. The car will almost certainly have a 2.5L twin plug motor, but past that I am still putting together the list of things that I definetly want and the nice to have's (if I can find them at a reasonable price).
The first big question that I need to answer though is what base car to start with - a 914 or a 914/6? Granted, modifying a 6 is not something that one would do lightly - the car is just too cool and too rare to simply start hacking away. But if I were to find a non-operable car, would all of the 6 parts that would come with it justify the incremental cost? Just looking at the cost of real 6 heat exchangers, oil systems, brakes, suspension, etc, it almost seems to me that buying a 6 and starting the project from there is the way to go. What do you guys think? Thanks for your advice. Mike |

Show or go? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
Do you want a rad 914 to drive in the next 2 years, or are you looking for that "it's never done" 10 year build? That's how I would decide 4 vs 6 platform. If you want a drawn out project to cruise and show, start with a real 6. I would buy a decent GT clone and focus on refreshing it with that wild motor you have planned, which will cost as much as the starting platform. Wonder why Andy didn't offer up his shell?
