Wow, that looks really nice. If you don't mind can you give us an idea what it cost to wrap a tiny little 914?

Thanks guys! The wrap depends alot on material choice. The vinyl for mine was like $600. Figure on $1500-$2000 in labor. It took John and a helper two 8 hour days and then John another 12hour day to finish it.

The mirrors work on the car and look awesome. You can't see shit out of them though...I am going to add some convex stick on mirrors in hopes that that gives me some visibility, especially for the track.

You make me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif)

How in the hell did you get this all done so fast (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) . We really have rules here about how long this stuff takes. That looks like at least 18 months to me. Damned if I can remember ever even seeing it on jackstands (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)

Really amazed at the amount you accomplished in such a short time. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) Nice job doesn't do it justice. Great work & speedy too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

Thanks man! I took delivery in May, so a couple of months of thrashing every day/night, plus I had one of my guys come work at the house for about 3 weeks, so that helped. I still have a bunch to do to it, but at least it looks like a car again and its damned fun to drive.
I get a little OCD when I get a project rolling, and patience is not one of my virtues.

Well it was 100degrees here today so I stress tested the car in stop and go traffic. EFI read 207 gauges read 190 max on the cool side. I couldn't be happier!
A I got a new iPhone 6+. So my pics should be better.

Got the altitude adjusted today after I got some shorter rear springs. Now I have adjustment! Set up the elephant racing bump steer kit and she's ready for alignment

This is also a test of the iPhone photo upload. Hopefully the pic is correctly oriented

Damn, that was fast indeed, congratulations! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Now you're going to have to take it all apart and put it up on jack stands if you're going to fit in around here (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)
