Hello - I have a new (to me) 914 race car that was made from at least 3 parts cars - and Now I am trying to buy parts and need help..... The body - no a- pillars no windshield ---- front pass fender has a welded plate for the cage over the vin --- no bumpers and holes drilled all over the front area --- I destroyed a firewall shift bushing that I bought (did the hot water and all) and now I think it could be for the wrong car year.
-- How to ID the body year ???? pass side floor has seat hinges , if that helps. I also need help with front end id, how to tell if the front susp is early or late ??? and calipers ??? ------ the rear trailing arms, how to Id early from late --- I have the calipers off the car -- I got 4 trailing arms and 2 complete front susp -- with the car , but need to id them to buy spare parts.... is there a good place to see pixs??? I have searched sites and googled but never come up with what I need ----- __________________ |

Thank you Mr. Jackson - great to text with you - - What part did you break on it ---- Harry was a very nice man --- I understood that there was flex in the right rear --but I did not think that it was busted -- any help would be great --- I did not want to pester you about this old body that you were done with ----- Someone from Perfection Plus and I had a short conversation one time -nice dude - and your racing sounds fun ,, but not in my budget ---- I have tracked down a bunch of pictures of you racing that car and theyt are great --- inspires me to go out in the cold garage to work on it.... I am trying to make it look less like an ex-race car - and more old street beater with gt flairs..... the idea of the series is to run 12 to 24 hours in a $500 race car ---- Plus all the safety stuff, fuel stuff, brake stuff and wheel/tires are not included in the $500..... I hope to race the car proud as a 914 freak ( I have had 8 so far, all rusty Southeast cars) it will have a Beatles yellow submarine theme.... 4 periscopes - Secretly functional - one to each carb- one for the driver and one to the externial oil cooler in the trunk
