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.

example from Jeroen's site http://www.rennware.com/proj/914_idee/914R_tube.gif

Antwerp ... I can hear the cathedral in my head. That always makes me home sick. I'll be there next weekend (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif) It will just be for a couple of days but better than nothing.
By the way, do you know what's allowed in Belgium with regards to engine swaps? in particular for putting bigger engines in (of course). Can you still drive a car like that on the street?
Good luck with your project. Sounds interesting.
