Hello there, it's been a while since I posted here. I first came to here to ask a few questions about the 914. I wanted to buy one. But after much research and consideration I decided against it. It had to be my daily driver and I concluded that it would be a money pit as a daily driver.

Today there is new hope. Me and a friend want to fullfill our childhood dream of building our own car. I am at the moment checking out different cars that can be used as a basis for our project. We would like to build a car with very good handling in the first place, extreme engine power isn't needed (max ±250 bhp). We would like to build a sort of home grown Lotus Elise (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . The 914 would just be used as a basis, we're going to develop our own engine and suspension (with the help of a few friends who are engineers). This will be of course be a project that will take years since we have to learn A LOT.

What I need right now is structural drawings of the 914. Does this exist ? Preferably high res.

Hey Pow,

Good to hear you're back. Sounds like the 914 suckered another one in (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Chech the Pelican Parts website. They have a section with brochures and you can download the factory blueprints there in pretty high res.
(My sketches are based on that, although I made some minor mistakes)

Make sure you post any and all progress you make here on 914world.com

cheers,

Jeroen
