Porsche 914-8 Prototype Replica, Has anyone done this before? Options

[lanker88]

Hey all,

Just seeing if you know anyone who has done this before. Next year I plan on getting an solid body 914 roller and starting my 914-8 prototype replica build. I will be building with a V8 conversion though because putting in a 908 engine will be impossible. I plan to do these main modifications for my conversion.

1. Front bumper mod as much as possible, prototype bumper was much taller so Ill only be making it more flat and removing the foglight holes plus adding oil cooler cutout.
2. front fender shape and front/ rear flairs.
3. Early style rear bumper no curve near license plate.
4. Paint job to match
5. Renegade V8 conversion want to stay around the 310 hp to match the 908 engine specs for this model.
6. Custom single exhaust to exit through rear lower valence.
7. Custom dual headlights maybe HIDs?
8. Interior to match as close as possible which i think looks so cool, ill probably end up translating what the switches are to english, or maybe keep in german who knows...
9. Cut out for fuel filler cap outside front engine bay(see photos
10. 5 lug conversion with fuchs
11. BIG BRAKE PACKAGE (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Those are just the things of the top of my head for now...
