I looked up into the sky the other day and thought I saw him waving at me out of the window of his favorite 747 Stretch.

The tail number was 914-FABKING or similar (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

In fact I am busy with the 914 again, been a bit pre-occupied with the start of the rally season and the brandnew Citroën DS3-R3 rallycar I've been building the past months (DS3)

But I'm trying a new concept for my rear drivetrain. Hope this idea will be what I expect, 99,999% sure this is a keeper....

Pics wil be up soon!

Brings back memories of my ZX Volcane

Dang.. what an engineering feat. First class all the way, from cleanness of garage to fab 914 jig.
Good luck and keep the pictures coming.

DAMN!

I have got to get me a set of those smoking hot door panels for my 914...

I might even keep the Citroën injection molded name. Looks soooo cool (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

They are indeed kinky, easily made Yourself btw. Stick a piece of foam on the door, nicely cut out the doorbars until they fit perfectly, then smoothe out the foam with filler and make a negative mold!

Randall,

You are so helpful as I start drilling out my floor pan and other associated problems. I went through all 19 pages of this thread....WOW!
The information, pictures and unbelievable processes that you use are an inspiration to all of us. You have provided all of us with great photo's that allow us all to hopefully make our projects and cars better.

Thank you, I know that you had to be in the aviation field.

Thanks for the compliments guys! It's been a while since I posted. I've been toying with the rear drivetrain/engine package and after testing and mocking several options, I think I'm almost there. This winter I'm going to construct the setup I've decided to go for. Parts have been gathered, all I need to do is find some time between the projects.
I'll keep you posted

Thanks and best regards

Randall

Well Mr. Tripps,

You guys are in a whole different league than the rest of us with your skill, fabrication expertise, engineering ability etc. We are impressed, inspired, and humbled ! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

I just finished a 20 month restoration and within a week the battery tray fell off! So much for my welding ability.

Now I have someone going through and fixing the things I fuched up.....
But we all do what we can with what we got.

We are definitely an interesting bunch. I have been enjoying your build as well.

John
