Here is the end result of the past 2 and a half years: my dream car.

I'm confused. Post #27- one picture shows a rusty yellow car with a 6 and another pic shows a silver car that just got flares welded on but still needs bodywork and paint? Are they the same car?

It's a long story... there are many hours and lots of welding and decades between the gold pictures and the silver pictures. I wish I had more in between pictures. I didn't take the gold pictures those are from years before I got it. |

Just was curious about the pics but I understand these projects can take some time. |

Just was curious about the pics but I understand these projects can take some time. I have done several 914-6 conversions now and they do take time, too much money, and patient friends and family. The thing about this Zombie car, or I should say what makes it a Zombie, is that 15% is original and 85% is fabrication! Since there was so little hope of salvaging the original car I felt like it gave me a licence to really go all out creating a hot rod! I wanted it to look like something the factory would have built but more of it was built in my garage than was built in Stuttgart, hence SoCal Stuttgart! Some day I'd like to make a car from scratch but until then it's 914-6 tributes and hot rods! I'm glad you like it. It truly is my dream car. l love it more than any other car I've done (over 15 cars in the past 20 years)! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) |
