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 ----- __________________ |

Any information you need-Do not hesitate.When you apply force at passenger side rear-upwards you can see a lot of flex happening-also side to side on this side.We ran that way a while-New the car had quit handling and did not find this easily.The car seems soli d in all other locations-Never had hell hole issues or jack point issues.Funny to me how that car was a 76 that we ended up with dog bones and fiberglass early bumpers and now those bumpers are coming off the new car and being converted to late bumpers.Life sure is ironic.If you ended up with the coilover front setup-we ran 944 turbo front calipers and with the spindles done by Racer Chris, the 15 X 7 fuchs from a 944 would clear everything.There was a set of boxed trailing arms that were on car the last time I saw it.J
