Geezer, I didn't take any photos of the backside but here's some screenshots of the model. The hood is printed separately but shown combined for illustration. The wiring passes through the two lower channels so no dash mods need to happen to accomodate.

Great looking example. Yes, an oil change and most basic maintaine is very simple on these.

This might not count as what I did to my 914 but here goes ...

A few years ago, I redid the rear suspension. I kept the springs because they looked cool on the shelf in my shop. This year, I made them into lamps for my son, who has been working on the car with me.

@eric9144 IMHO unless you’re going to race it, it is night and day cheaper to just get a new stock tank from Dansk. You will appreciate getting rid of the gas smell and having a 13 gallon tank instead of a 10 gallon tank. Years ago I sold my car to a guy who raced it on the track. When I bought it back, I couldn’t get rid of the fumes and found out those bladders have a short life span and the bladder is roughly the same cost as a whole new race tank from PMS.

Drove up to the Look Out Road House on top of the 74 after Cars & Coffee at Enderle Center. Nice fun drive!! I think I will do this every weekend until I break the 3.6 motor in. Only have 250 miles on it so far. Want to get it to 2k miles before I red line it.
