OU8AVW's Build Thread, On the road again..... Options

[OU8AVW]

I've been lurking here for four years, I signed up the day after I bought my 914. It's a 1971 car and I bought it because the doors clinked shut like a Porsche is supposed to. I have learned allot from this forum and I'll say it again, this is the best auto forum on the intraweb!

Work situations, other car projects, a sailboat and three kids that play Lacrosse, swim, ect I have not really worked on the car at all until recently. I have been prolifically collecting parts, knowledge, and building a network of trusted friends and vendors.

As it stands:
-I have 75% of the sweet parts I need
-Scotty B and I made a good deal to have him paint my car
-I have a running motor with 40 Webers, another fully machined motor with rebuilt heads and six new injectors waiting to be assembled and a sideshift trans.
-My good friend Eric of Willswerks in VA and I trade labor. He's a transmission guru like Dr. Evil. He also has a huge stash of NOS part's he hooks me up with
-I have a full interior with new leather seats, new carpet and new door panels
-A set of sway bars for both ends
-A nice set of 2.0 Fuchs

I need-
-Brakes
-A little pan repair
-A dash
-a few more bits i can't remember now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
-A freakin' garage!

Here's what she looks like now-




She's supposed to be white and I think I'll go back to the original color. Here's my inspiration:

Your blue car is actually being worked on. the rear trunk is now ready for primer

No pics on my build thread? Actually reconsidering what you suggested at Hershey. Also about to list everything 914 I own for sale for one lump sum.
