Well there has finally been some progress made on my car so I thought I would start a build thread about it for those who are interested. I'll try to keep it updated as I go along.
I'll start off with an introduction to the project for those who don't already know. I bought a 914 with a Sheridan Motorsports wide body in an E-bay auction. The car was being set up for a Porsche 6 to be used on the track. It came with the wide body, a 915 transmission (mag case) that was converted to side shifter with a Vellios kit and the ring and pinion had been flipped. The front suspension is supposed to be from a 911 - don't know the year yet - and the car has a brand new set of Kinesis rims that appear to be 17x12 in the back and 17x10 in the front. Also included were a set of new tires 315's in the back and 285's in the front. The previous owner also had put a front mount oil cooler and a somewhat poorly welded roll cage. Here are some pictures of the car: Attached image(s)
