I gotta ask!
Are the tiles set-up as "scale"? and what are they made of? I LOVE your garage! I clean in the morning, remind myself of what I've done, and what's to do next. Get in the Zone! more productive. (This's just me.) |

The tiles are made of recycled electricity wire ( the plastic ) they are sealed together and are an acid and oil resistant garage floor. They do not break and if damaged can easily be replaced. It's the most expensive "tool" I've ever bought for my shop, but it's been worth it!. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |

Yes! finally finished the Jig!, it's off' it's jackstands and both doors hung in for check-fitment..everything lines up perfectly and the next step is to make a brace from the front window frame to the targa bar.......Then I'm going to remove the fenders and have the chassis mediablasted and the jig coated...

You've done more work to your 'jack-stands' in the past two months than most of us have done to our cars. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)
That looks great! Thanks for posting all of the pictures and updates. Keep up the good work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

I have to keep going back to your original post just to remember what your end goal is. I would have just settled for a suby conversion in that great looking car you started with. Keep up the great work, can't wait to see the finished product. |

Thanks!, picture is taken from the attic, always gives a great perspective. My initial goal was to simply put in a suby engine/trans but somehow this chassis keeps giving me the vibe to make it 4wd...I've done huge amounts of thinking and measuring and it keeps haunting me that it is possible..........that's the way it's going to be then.....

rust free you say ? Group: Members Posts: 16,375 Joined: 7-January 05 From: richmond, Va. Member No.: 3,419 Region Association: None |
Your work is amazing, your attention to detail is second to none, and I have no doubt that the car will be one the finest 914's out there. BUT...... how are you going to be able to work on the car with all of this frame work in the way ? You have the floors out and to put them back in properly you need to be underneath the car, all of the chassis stiffening will need to be done from inside the cabin, hell hole repair necessitates you be able to get inside the engine bay etc., etc., etc,
Your door frame jig has me rethinking my bracing setup |

This is certainly not what I expected down here. Group: Members Posts: 849 Joined: 21-May 09 From: Bodymore Murderland Member No.: 10,389 Region Association: MidAtlantic Region |
I love 914's they seem to attract the most detail oriented people and a lot of perfectionists. Most down to earth good people as well.
Cheers to you Hontec, amazing work. Totally Wayne's World and not worthy right now. |

I see your point, but the Jig has been built to be able to repair/construct any fixed point on the 914. What you see now is every jig installed which is not nescessary. I just placed them on there for construction and testfit. You are absolutely right: it's impossible to do any work like this. My car will need only the 4 bumper attachment points and the sideframe supports. I am going to cut out the entire inside from fuel tank firewall, front firewall, bottom, rear firewall, shock mounts and trunk.......all of it goes... Then I will construct a complete new inside for the oem 914 shell.... it will involve a front carrera 4 suspension setup and for the rear it will get a 944S2 turbo rear setup in which the rear 944 axle will be part of an engine/transmission cradle which I will be able to completely drop by only a few bolts and disconnecting a few lines (dry break couplers)..... The jig is merely a preparation for the huge amount of work which is to come......I'm afraid this is just the start........... Thank you for your compliments, they are fuel for my motivation!!
