Hey guys.
Been on here a while now but finaly have a 914 close to being on the road. It's a '72 but has a sideshift gearbox, 5 stud wheels (911 front not redrilled) and from what i can tell late doors with reinforcing along with the obvious RHD conversion to make life a little easier here in Australia. Hope these photos work. First some of the car a couple of years back. Attached image(s)

Conversion was done local by a guy who has a porsche wreckers so he used a proper RHD pedal box unlike some others i have seen.
it's had a few owners in the time i have known it, not sure if they were around on the club site or not. Fixing the front should be pretty easy as it hasnt marked the wheel well at all. only visible panel is the area next to the corner marker but it is pretty minor. the bumper reinforcing bar is crushed so i'm not sure if i would drill the spots and remove then weld back in when the front is straight or leave it all and try and pull it as is. Time is the big killer at the moment so if the panel shop is hapy to do the work i will probably just get them to do it so i have more time to work on the EFI and 2.0 Cheers guys |

I have made a RHD 914 and know the car was not originally built to be symetric. I was wondering how this was done by the rest of the world. Mine is a race car and I used the Wilwood pedals. Thanks, neilca |
