QUOTE(Gint @ Jan 29 2011, 05:49 AM) Thanks! I just turned over the 300 mile mark and counting. It runs and drives almost perfectly. I have just needed to adjust the clutch and throttle cables... now smooth, powerful, and comfortable. I can't wait to get her out on the track. I'm heading out to Willow Springs this afternoon to show off... not race quite yet. My newly recovered backpad just came in so the interior is 99% done. Dashface will be covered in basket weave this week. |

Dean is a friend and is helping me with my restoration. After Cars & Coffee he came by my house today and we took the Zombie for a ride.........Y I K E S !!!!!! I've been in fast cars before but nothing compares to this monster!!! The feel, the power, the exhaust note....everything is just right!!! I can't imagine that there are many cars out there that can even come close to the performance and handling if this car.
My hat is off to Dean for having a vision of what he wanted and not straying from it or letting others opinion sway him in anyway. We all have to realize that there are a million different ways one can change these cars, from 2.0 to 3.6, from carbs to F.I., from steel flares to fiberglass flares to no flares, from 4 lugs to 5 lugs, then the rims... 15", 16", 17"....and so on. I guess what I'm trying to say is.....MAKE YOUR CAR YOUR OWN.... the way YOU want it...put on it what YOU want and what YOU can afford.....at the end of the day it's still going to be a bitchin car to YOU and that's what counts!!! Regardless if it's a tiny little totally stock 73hp, 1.7 to a monster 300 hp 911 engine.....Just have fun......I sure as hell am!!!.......OK, I'll step down now.

I'm confused. Post #27- one picture shows a rusty yellow car with a 6 and another pic shows a silver car that just got flares welded on but still needs bodywork and paint? Are they the same car?

I'm about to install a Mazda cooler in mine which is a bit larger (24x4) so I am trying to get some ideas to mount it. You car looks great, hope you are enjoying it. |

It's a long story... there are many hours and lots of welding and decades between the gold pictures and the silver pictures. I wish I had more in between pictures. I didn't take the gold pictures those are from years before I got it. |

Just was curious about the pics but I understand these projects can take some time. |

Just was curious about the pics but I understand these projects can take some time. I have done several 914-6 conversions now and they do take time, too much money, and patient friends and family. The thing about this Zombie car, or I should say what makes it a Zombie, is that 15% is original and 85% is fabrication! Since there was so little hope of salvaging the original car I felt like it gave me a licence to really go all out creating a hot rod! I wanted it to look like something the factory would have built but more of it was built in my garage than was built in Stuttgart, hence SoCal Stuttgart! Some day I'd like to make a car from scratch but until then it's 914-6 tributes and hot rods! I'm glad you like it. It truly is my dream car. l love it more than any other car I've done (over 15 cars in the past 20 years)! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) |

QUOTE(ONTHEGRIND @ Jan 30 2011, 05:38 PM) what size wheels and tires ? ah good question: 16x7 up front 16x9 rear and BFGoodrich G-Force Sport 225 50ZR16 and 245 50ZR16 I've been slowly pushing her harder everyday for the last couple days and I like the grip. I know there are much better tires available but these are really nice so far. I'm finding everything to be very predictable even when pushed to the limits. When it breaks loose it is smooth and manageable. Loving this car. |

I don't know how you did it but that is the best complaint I can imagine getting. When first showed this car I expected it to be picked apart because I know it's not perfect. Some of the work people can do just blows me away! I have spent a lot of time looking over work done by people on 914-6 Pbase and Eric's PMB 914-6 (I'm totally jealous of that car) and of course I grew up reading about George Hussey's retro concept red 914-6 3.0 liter. I just did the best I could. I do plan on driving the hell out of it for years to come!! Oh and racing the tires off of the wheels! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) |
