I forgot to add that I tied both of the truss longs with a rear firewall truss. This will stiffen things up a bit.....torsionally speaking (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I think you are going to bang your head on the overhead bars on the first bump.

Mike, he said they where there as spacers right now.

Move them inboard and you can build the B B tribute 914. After all their 928 was a targa also.

Hahaha. I remember those seats. I think Recaro made those?? In seriousness, I'm not too sure I'm going to use the tie bars for the a and b pillars. If they give me a 5% increase in stiffness then I'll use them. Otherwise they're out.

You're too funny, seems like the sarcasm went over both of our heads. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) I'm actually 6'. It is almost impossible to "read into" sarcasm as you can see (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) .

Anyway, I was able to get the suspension jig lined up under the 914. I stretched the wheelbase 3". I also raised the suspension jig 3/4" into the 914 thereby lowering the ride height by 3/4" as compared to a stock 996. The cool thing about this is that by lowering it this way, it will retain the stock 996 ride but in a lowered stance and the ride quality will be completely unaffected. Attached are the pictures of the suspension jig in place.

Here are some shots of the rear suspension pick up points. I hope to have the rear completed this weekend and then move to the front.

Progress made during work days!?!? Unfair advantage!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
(until I retire, that is...)

Tony (Cracker) and I were talking about your build and he pointed out that there may be no other car on the planet that lends itself to such a wide range of modifications. Your build is another (great) example of this.

Awesome progress! I can't to see the wheelbase extend phase of this build.

Ha ha ha, yes unfair advantage. I'm not retired however. Since I'm self employed, I sometimes take the time when I need a "mental pressure" holiday. Working on the 914 is a stress reliever for me. And yes aren't these 914s incredible platforms to modify? I've enjoyed seeing your's and Tony's post as well. By the way. the wheelbase is already extended, it's just that you won't be able to see it until the suspension is installed. I'm going to have to modify the rear 916 flares. I think it's going to have a look similar to the Audi R8 in the rear. It will still hold it's distinctive 914 look though. I want this to look like the "next level" 916. It will be about wider that than a typical 916 and the wheelbase will be 3" longer. I'm super excited with the way it's coming together. Thanks for the encouragement.

Rudy - You are doing this the hard way...you should have considered building a tube frame car and simply patch parts of the 914 onto it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)

PS: Have you figured your projected weight? 3500 lbs? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Mine is a 914 "heavyweight" at 2450...

What engine and transaxle are you planning on installing?
