Progress thread 74 2.0 to 3.0 6, Time to assemble Options

[Luke M]

I figured why not start this thread. The car is a 74 914 2.0 that's been sitting since the early 90's. It was parked outside/in the woods up until my brother purchased it last fall. It didn't look too bad from 20 feet away but when you look closer it gets pretty bad. So, here's the plan... strip the car, fix the rust problems, paint it, add a 5 lug suspension, and convert it to a 3.0 6. Stay tuned for pics of the progress..

Looks great Luke! How did the cross member fit in? Its good to see the new parts installed. I rarely get much feedback about the new parts Im making.

I will eventually make the other bits that attach to the outer firewall also.

Hi Pete,

Other then the small problem we talked about on the phone it went in fairly easy.
We got all of the replacement metal from RD and so far what we've installed fits well. Most panels needed some minor fitting adjustments other then that the fit was great.

Keep up the great work on making us these and more replacement panels.

Thanks again for some great products.
