SO, I have a 914 V8 conversion project I've been working on for some time now. Started with no kids and no bills.... now I have two kids and just got divorced ha-ha so the car has been on hold for around a year, should be knocking it out soon.

any tips, comments, advice, hate messages, somebody that wants to buy it when im done?

I literally have no reason to keep this as it wont hold me and my two sons, leaving this as a "alone time" ride. Plan is to finish the build, and then find a buyer or trade for a crewcab chevy truck (Hopefully).

I'll put up more photos when I get around to taking some..... car is mostly sanded to metal at the moment... the random paint colors are from me spraying it to keep the metal that I exposed when I flared the fenders from rusting while it sat.

Complete so far...... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)

He added it smart ass (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) . i'll get you yet Brett (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)

I wish you the best with the sale. Knowing projects are a little tough to sell. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. There are a few on here & the projects tend to stay on quite a while. Hopefully yours will be different & go quick

Body completely sanded to bare steel over the weekend. Rear air dam and driver side rocker panel installed. Passenger rocker going on this week,

Dent removal (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) started last night, should be primed by the end of the week.

Once body is good and primer is on, I plan to reassemble the trim & interior to drive and have some fun!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) . car will officially be FOR SALE (on CraigsList and an EBAY auction) then as a finished build. Sans paint of course. If it sits long enough I will get paint done myself, a color of my own choosing.
