I didn't, but Scott Kline did. He also did any hell hole repairs ect. Car didn't have much rust on it anyway. I don't have a good picture of any of it, but even the front trunk seal trouf is rust free. It's a really nice tub. Scott grabbed bondo and rust free parts from other 914's. So the rear trunk lid was red, the doors were green and the front lid was original. All I did was sand and paint the car. I am no body man. Also keep in mind this was painted in my garage. While I think the paint job kicks ass, it's no show car. There is like 6 coats of paint on there. Buff and wet sand all you want, it'll hold up. I used the good stuff too. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smoke.gif) I am nothing less than impressed by the paint. Almost no orange peel, not one run or drip. It just turned out really nice. I have the 3 pieces of sail vinyl from CAMP. Someone could re-drill holes or just grab some black side stick molding. |

Dan, my dad was diagnosed with the same. Very aggressive, the doctors said. Maybe 6-8 months. Longest on record - 17 months. Guess what... That was 35 months ago! Unfortunately, things are beginning to take their toll, and I don't think my dad will get to see the finished project here. Right now, I am tryiing to finish the Masters, get the ordination, and the Master Mason done.
I am looking at the Seal Grey for mine, maybe just a tad darker... going the Raby route, and leather/suede. The idea is - what would Dr. Porsche do if he built a 914 today? My prayers are with you and your family. david |

Onto the car! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/boldblue.gif) It's done! Well, just a couple little things to sort out, but I drove it last night for the first time since it was a 4cyl. HOLY MOTHER OF TORQUE LORDS!

I took these just this morning before I left for work. This 914 was a good collection of parts from 914club members. Oh, I F'd up, the front euro kit was Martin Baker, not a CAMP kit, but here is the list:
Front euro lights - Martin Baker BulkHead Mount - maddog (I like his the best) Carpet kit - CAMP Rear trunk shock kit - CAMP Dashes - Evil one Pilot light kit - CAMP Sail panel vinyl(Not installed) - CAMP 914-6 bell crank - Root Werks Oil tank - GPR So thanks to everyone on that list who make great parts for 914's! We rule! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) If I missed anyone, I appologize. So this one will be heading down to CAMP hopefully next week. Kevin, I'll PM you to set it up. About the only things left to do are install the breather lines and air filter. Craig will be putting the interior together. Oh, the turn signals don't work. Flashers do, but signals don't. Wierd, gotta get that one sorted as well. Fun car, VERY quick and VERY tight. If I remember correctly, Scott did well at WCC05 in AX with this car. It is certainly set up well! Attached image(s)

That is why I am sending it down to CAMP. Call Craig man, he can take your 914 in on a trade. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |

Wow Dan, that really looks good. I wish I had the money to buy it back. The car did handle very well on the track at the WCC. Not one little bit of sliding and stayed pretty flat in all the turns. It just lacked the power you have added. The tires that were on it I know made a huge difference but the sway bars, springs and shocks were all working well too. Here is a picture of it in the final turn at Willow, many cars lost it and spun in this turn including Otto's car.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/boldblue.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) Thanks for that picture Scott! Yeah baby! That's what I am talking about. A car that did exceptionally well at the track now sports a 2.7S engine. Right on!
The only thing that has changed are the tires. I did sell them to DHunt (Tires/wheels) because at the time, I had flares on the way, which never came, still not here and will probably never get here. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) So I had to scramble for another set of wheels/tires. Had a set of fuchs, put new tires on those. This car has a fuch as a spare even. Tires are not R compound, but they are nice sticky street tires. They are so new in fact, in one of the above pictures, you can see part of the tire sticker still on the tire.

Drive the piss out of it if you want. The car is solid, it did the 1300 miles in 16 hours. I have no doubts about the car after that drive. The motor either after yesterday. All alum oil tank with 1 1/2 quarts extra capacity, late 7R big oil pump 2.7S engine with oil feds. Dude, enjoy the drive, the car is ready for it.

Car underwent a little more work. Put on a set of tuned headers (no heaters), new exhaust studs, re-sealed the rear window, installed the Dr. Evil re-covered dashes, installed a 911 numbered combo Gauge and new VDO Fuel gauge as well. The carbs are not the best for this engine, but it still screams. Still working on possibly getting this one down to CAMP or just selling it. Also has blacked out trim and sail panel vinyl installed.
My Dad passed away on 8-14-2005. I will use this money to finish his home projects and then Mom wants to sell the house. She said she can't stay in it. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) My older brother moved back in with her while still paying on a lease for a rental. So it is costing us "kids" bucks. But once we can get a few things sqaured away, Mom will sell and things will be a little better. |

Thanks guys, it was pretty rough, but all of his family was there when he passed away at home. He was diagnossed with Cancer on July 20th, so not even a month of knowing he had cancer to passing away. It was really fast.
Mom promises she will pay us back for helping out. I don't think my brothers and I really care if she does or not, but I know she will once the house sells. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) |

Sorry to hear about your Dad Dan. I went through this recently also so I have a clue. It'll get better. A small thing considering the circumstances, but if you could use a shred of good news, the valve tick is healing itself slowly and the carbs are finally sorted. The car rocks! Eager to see your next creation.
