Eric, I've been following your build updates for this car here and on Facebook; like all your various build and how-to threads the work is impeccable (yes, I will be sending Eric my brakes in the near future - yes, I'm following the age old advise to be nice to those who work on your brakes)
The best caption on the rear fog pics is something like, "if that old grump Pat Garvey ever figures out how to use Facebook this is what he'll see." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) |

Here is my car right after I got it home from the junkyard I rescued it from. $200 "wasted"
(IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v260/k_mesaros/Car/DSCF0933.jpg) I added a battery, checked the oil and hit the key... (IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v260/k_mesaros/Car/DSCF0946.jpg) it fired up and I drove it around the yard. (IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v260/k_mesaros/Car/DSCF0949.jpg) I have a 2.0 crank and rods, an extra 1.7 case and plans for something more. (IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v260/k_mesaros/Car/DSCF0942.jpg) There is not a lot of rust, it is pretty straight. (IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v260/k_mesaros/Car/DSCF0934.jpg) |

Nice score! I like Adriatic Blue. Are you going to keep it the original color under the black? |

I was going to go with silver, but thought that was too boring.... I then had big plans to go with yellow, but it appears overdone.... I am now leaning towards the stock Adriatic Blue. |

Well after two years of weekend, this is what I have. A few pieces to finish but for a car that had not been driven since 1995 it's a lot better than when I sarted.

(IMG:http://914electric.com/gallery/albums/paint/Porsche_914-5.jpg) That's a good looking EV! Are you using the headlight "eyelash" openings for cooling? I would love to convert a 914 EV someday. Or at least drive one that somebody with greater skill than myself has already converted. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

The car is heavy, low and with a better CG than factory. Add instant torque on demand and it is fun to drive. |

Well, I finally took some pictures of my car with a digital camera. I have owned it since I was 19,...22 years this last August. It has been in storage for the last 12 years. Working 12-14 HR days, then family did not leave much time to work on it, and the fact that my wife doesn't see the true value in it. I am now working on it again putting a 2.7 six and five lug conversion. I hope to have it running and back n the road again by the time the snow melts. Which around here is April. Here is how it looks...
   And here is how it looks most of the time  Attached image(s)

I have owned a wide variety of volkswagens and porsches in my life but always seem to come back to the 914. Guess I have gone through about seven by now. My latest, and intentionally least expensive 914 has been the most fun. Bought it for sixteen hundred dollars. Sold the satellite radio, origional mirrors, visors, steering wheel, etc. and broke even. Found a given up on v-eight project for free that was not worth getting back on the road and used it to practice cutting the top on. After making all the mistakes I took the saws all to the other car. Took six inches off the top. Cut the origional windshield and back glass. Had to combine the tops from both cars as a wider and deeper top was now required. Had to make it in two pieces to allow it to fit in the rear trunk. Believe it or not there are no rain leaks anywhere. I sold the fifteen inch rims and tires that came with it and switched to some sixteen inch rims with 255/60/16s. Actually made a little money in the proccess. I wove some 12k carbonfiber tow in a saw tooth pattern myself and made a new dashboard. Made a small console from an extra lower dash pad. I have a blast with this car. I drive it like it owes me money every day. I rarely lock it or worry about parking lot dings, rain, mud, gravel, etc. Just enjoy putting and average one to onehundred and fifty miles a day on it seven days a week. Seems like the harder I drive it the better it runs.
