914 Coupe, Interesting concept Options

[Britain Smith]

Saw this picture on Facebook this morning...thought I would share. It looks interesting with the Sheridan front end.

I have always had this weird idea lurking in the back of my head.....

Take a front wrecked 914, and a rear wrecked 911 Targa of the same year and graft them together. Put the six in it, and call it a 197X Boxster.

Considering all the common parts, it should be somewhat easy. Match the shifter locations, splice the doors together, and graft the windshield hoop from the 914 onto the 911 front end. That way you keep the 914 top that fits in the rear trunk.


But I am not a body man, and don't have the required skills.

I bet the inventor of photoshop had a bunch of these weird ideas rolling around in his head too and needed a way to express them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

The only suggestion I have is that seeing that they have the same front suspension you might be better off finding a Chalon kit but changing the slantnose to regular 911 fenders ...keeping in mind that the wheel arches are round on the 911 and squarish on the 914 though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

The only thing 911 (besides the engine)

in my "913" ...was where I traced my 912 popout rear window onto the sail panels. Actually, if you notice the picture with the checkered flag the window is more pointed which is the original Porsche shape. To try and balance the shape out a bit i've been adding black tape and seeing what it looks like from different angles as per the rest of the pictures.

When I finalize the shape I am going to cut out a vent in the depression to make it more functional (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif)
