Thanks bulitt.
OK,so,you need a Wider Fender...Note to self,drive-ability makes good parts.

Attached Image
A raised trunkline,taller from the trunk floor.
Wider lens + taller too.Starting to look like 944/968/928 pieces,fitting really,that the parts would serve a similar purpose.

Attached Image
Some resemblance to the family tree.

Merely widened fenders+doors.

Does it still evoke the 914,spoilers n all?

Attached Image
How bout now?3" stretch behind the targa curve.
Two tone anodized Fuchs 4-stud.A bronze/titanium,rim polished.
Polished alloy or chromed outer rocker.
LED aero turn indicator.(spoke?)
If you measure your door thickness add 3-4" for this result.
I can add the front fender vent and the engine oil cooler scoop as well as an intrusion barrier/cage bar with the extra width.Form follows funktion.

2-3"Rise at the trunk line,to accomodate intercooler opening.

The larger tail-lamps remove any semblance to 914 and move into the 924 family.
An exercise in fitting the rads/intercoolers amidships,without adding lumps.
17" and low profile tires fit the enlarged w-wells in a modern way.
A '66 Mustang is showing its influence,difference being the vents are functional.
This will be a long time coming,a ton of work.

Some details to be determined..without the 3"stretch.Navy Targa Vinyl.
I recall one of the early "models in clay" sported headlamps of similar shape.
Mid mounted coolers do two things,eliminate long lines and retain a centralized cg.
Not really 914+944,or change for changes sake,more like what if?
In '67 a pencil and plasticine was used.

While you are designing , why not spring for some cool 911 headlight treatments , maybe some of the MB headlight setups to the turn signal locations ??? Do away with the flip ups , relocate the turn signals to another location ??? I've always wanted to install 911 headlights in that spot , just have to do some creative fab work , but with thesee fender widening on these pics it would be very doable , but however it's your project not mine , good luck to ya !!!

Very Neat,I haven't seen that treatment before now.
At the time,the 'new"designers were transitioning away from the "headlamp sponson"look that had prevailed for the previous 20 yrs.
Hence the truncated headlamp turnsignal of the 914.
We enjoy the look today,but in '69, it was like,so different.
The simplicity of the slab-sided spline curves provide a surface on which to sculpt some detail,to make room for coolers and larger rubber.

Yeah,the amount of time to make the changes to the shapes of the curves has been reduced electronically.To bang metal requires the traditional amount.
I've considered a number of headlamp designs,and really like the clearlense 914 HID look a member here has done.(edit:05/03/15 neo914-6)
As I go further,I am becoming more inclined toward a Boxster trioval shape.I agree the flip-ups now look more redundant.
A work in progress,although the raised trunk-line does it for me,transforming the 914's simple splinecurves into an aggressive look that appeals with the massive airscoops.

Why on earth would you bother with a push rod engine ?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Yup.

Found today..
I've not seen this here.

It even has side inlets,
the wheelarches look unique enough.
All that's missing is a proper targa bar.
2008 model showcar.
Does this appeal to any 914 owners?

a few more
