ill go ahead and introduce myself as im a regular on rennlist and recently more on here. My name is dan(xsboost90) since i used to be big time into turbo mk3 supras. Got my first porsche a year ago-89 944 and after doing alot of work/paint etc..traded it for a 924s and a 76 914 2.0. Now im in the process of rebuilding from the ground up this car including cutting out some rust-not too bad someone had already done alot-PO owned a body shop- but missed some in the floor and fenders. I also purchased a motor which has already been totally rebuilt w/ very little milage and a cam from someone local who needed more-200hp 2.0 rat motor!!- for their project. Ill go ahead and start a thread and try to keep its progress posted for those who find these things handy. I also have a couple of pics of what i plan on it to look like in the next couple months when i paint it..yes im a jack of all trades so to speak. Thanks, stay tuned.

well, i had my bud cut the flares off of this car before he tows it off, they are now sitting in my garage w/ my pile-o-parts. After i get my swing arms welded up and its sitting on all four again, im going to put on my slicks and check clearance. Based on that, i will cut out the lip of the fender, weld in the flares, and weld the lip back in like factory. IF it clears-doubt it- then ill leave it be, but i dont see that..of course.

We will be watching the flare thing closely.

Andrew has been eyeballing my spare set of 944 rear quarter pannels sitting in the backyard. We did some measurements a few times and it is a possibility. Maybe have to put them on backwards due to the length of the pannels. We never got any further than that.

(if anyone else gets the bug, I'll let them go cheap... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) )

Keep going man, looks like another Rick "The Alien" Ollah work style personality. Rick works like a demon when it comes to cars. Sounds like you have the bug also. I don't have a heated garage up here in Columbus, But by the autumn I will have a heated one in the backyard. Stay warm and keep rocking!!!!!!!

got the second arm all welded up. Those little holes are hard to weld through. NExt comes the primer and the paint for them and then some installation. Maybe then i can see if my quarters will need to be stretched. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/welder.gif)

Yeah. We need pics of the 944 flares on your car if you every get to that. I've been thinking about that for a while (I don't especially like the look of gt flares, or the cost) I've never seen an teener with them though.

Great work, and good luck (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

ok so still working on the swing arms-may get them painted today- but i got them in primer and ready. I also ended up selling the mirror i just bought and buying a cool set of custom ones from the local street rod store. I like these much better than the chromey.

Yeah im still doing the two tone paint but i may be changing some things. IM thinking about something alittle brighter but without being like a f&f car. Ill prob. keep the black lower but make the top something besides silver, like candy tangerine or blue or something...dunno yet.
mirrors- i found them AFTER i bought them on http://www.springfieldstreetrods.com/HTML_...nia_Mirrors.htm

what if the paint scheme looked more like this????would this be porsche-lly offensive? The orange would actually be like a copper or candy tangerine color. Or maybe silver with the flames...the black would be inside the flames and the lower flames would just be pinstripe..yeah i do that too.

I have these exact mirrors on my 914. They came on it when I bought it. They rock! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mueba.gif) One thing though, I had the 914 painted and never bothered to check the mirror placement/adjustement (never drove the 914 before I painted it) and trusted the PO's mounting. Big mistake, they are too far to the rear of the car. Make sure to mount them ahead of the quarter window post depending on how tall you are ect. So I have to look down to see through mine. Sucks, but dang, they look sweeeeeet! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

The 944 flares, go for it. I saw one 914 like 10 years ago with 944 front and rear flares. Looked like they were made for the car! I was too young and dumb to take pic's though. But looked great.
