So i can't seem to get rid of my '74 tub. I don't have the room/time to do the full job I wanted to on the tub, so I put it up for sale. No one seems interested, and its in the kind of shape that I don't really want to cut it up and throw it away.

So I need some ideas on what to do with it. Currently, my favorite idea is to turn it into a trailer, which would be nice for WCC type events. Basically cut it in half and use the firewall on back. With no engine or transmission, I can expand the trunk to fill in all those areas. That makes for one really large space to put stuff. If I could fit a set of wheels for autocross/track events that would be perfect.

If anyone else has a second tub and the space to do it, a 914 limo might be a fun project...

So any other ideas?

Two years ago for a local PCA function, the club hired a guy to do BBQ for us. His cooker was built into a 75 914.
Front trunk as where he fed the wood for the fire, cooker box was in the driver's compartment and he has the smoke from the cooker coming out of the tail pipe.

Oh, I had the only other 914 there, and his car looked better than mine.
