You compare this to giving two wrecked cars that were destined for the crusher a new lease on life? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Hey, if somebody wants to take a couple of 914s and make a limo...more power to them, really. Best wishes for a successful project!! And, if somebody wants to criticise a 914 limo project and say something like "they hacked up those chassis good, why?"...well, isn't that just being arrogant and snobby?? No worries. Just hoping that there will be less flaming on projects/posts and that members can be more open-minded to other's cars. (Yes, probably a delusional hope) Some people take a different path in their projects than we or others might...encouraging them to share/post here benefits and enriches us all...even if it's a path we wouldn't take ourselves. Here's to more 914 projects...more limos and more 993-G50s!! |

Again, those two cars were about to be crushed. We had nothing to lose by trying to see if we could take the two good halves and put them together. IMHO, it's a whole different story to cut up what looks to be a otherwise solid chassis to make some shiny parts fit. I doubt there was anything wrong with the rear firewall and the upper portion of that trunk floor before they decided they needed space to make a flipped G50 fit in there.
