I, too, really enjoy seeing how you're planning, fabricating and executing. Please keep up the great work, and thanks for sharing!!!

It's good to hear from the peeps that are interested. It seems that the nature of this beast is such that it has so much non-914 content that it automatically excludes an entire segment that would otherwise engage if it were something more of things that they would want to do on their car. At this point I'm adding pictures more for record keeping. Next step is to finish welding the flares. Hopefully I will start building the all metal duck tail (different from what is out there right now), cut up the rear hood to increase heat extraction, simultaneously lighten and stiffen the rear hood and build a trick mechanism to tilt the whole thing back.

More update on the rocker panels. I just need to finish the ends.....that's easy. The hard part was getting these things to mount sturdily on the car and make them removable and allow conduits to pass through. I designed to give me flexibility to run whatever conduits I want in the rockers or the longs.





I don't think those tyres are wide enough (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)


You're right! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I hear you! I've been building my Suby-powered 914 since 2008, and I have to go back and search what I posted to remember what weird parts I've robbed from other cars/motorcycles/etc. to make my car work. Don't worry about offending anyone in the 914 community with your creativity... these cars have been hot-rodded since the 1970s, and they're still a great canvas to modify, drive and enjoy.

I've started to update my first post in my thread with as much detailed info on parts as possible. Makes a huge difference. I'm constantly forgetting the little details.

If your forgetting details at your age Andrew, I don't feel so badly. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) Just like Geoff, I had to go back through my receipts and build thread several times during this 2nd conversion. In fact, I need to backtrack once again to find where I purchased the shifter knob. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I am enjoying the seeing the build and your impressive skills. Can’t wait to see this beast in person someday! I am guessing documenting it helps with the motivation also so keep it up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

I just chatted with Rudy about his plans for this car. Incredible stuff, to say the least. I'm hoping to stop by his shop in July when I'm down in his area to help my daughter and her husband move from Oceanside back to SLO County. Keep up the great work Rudy!

Thanks Geoff @strawman I finished welding the fenders and am now buttoning up some minor issues before I prime and add "minor" amounts of, dare I say it.............BONDO. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif)

I am moving on to the rear hood and duck tail, then suspension and front hood. At that point I will have a roller.......again!

As a side-note-flirtation-with-another-bastard idea, I heard and rode in Kent's car @76-914 and I got the bug to install a Twin Turbo Subaru Flat 6 G33 motor. That was summarily shot down once I discovered that no one makes an adapter anymore. The last time it was made, it was by Precision Chassis and for $2,200 + Clutch.......ouch! I understand that the process to mate the G33 to Cayman S is not easy. Someone suggested, cough cough Kent, then go with Subaru STI 6 speed. Then it will be a match made in heaven. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) However, I did a lil bit of homework and realized that those transaxles will not support big power as a front drive only. The ring and pinion is something like 2" less than the Cayman S........so I'M STICKING WITH 2.7 AUDI AND CAYMAN S. KENT YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BRING ANYMORE JEZZEBELS IN MY SHOP. I NEED TO FINISH THIS THING!!!!

THE CAR SHALL HENCETOFORTH BE NAMED 914RS4

But yours is so quiet Kent! It sounds almost like...a Subaru...for some reason. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

Ahh You stole the name I've been tossing around in my head for a couple years (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

It suits your car better though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Glad to see your still on the Audi kick! If you were local I'd give you a ride..

Heck yeah, that will be fun. I do plan on going whether or not my car is finished. The name does fit and its easy to get the RS4 badge and place it next the 914 badge!

This is one of my favorite builds. I love builds that involve a lot of fabrication and creative engine, transmission and suspension swaps.

I think I learned the most from these kind of builds. I enjoy the regular stock restoration and six conversions too.
