(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Thanks!

As far as the car goes I am in the middle of getting our house in Laramie ready to sell (aka finishing all of my half finished renovation projects) and starting a new semester tomorrow so it may be a little while before I can get back to her. Never fear though, you guys will be the first to know if anything gets done...



Blah, blah, blah...life stuff...yadda, yadda, yadda...real responsibilities...who cares? Call the house in Laramie a "fixer-upper" and get back on the car!

Seriously, though, I commend you. Not just for the car itself -- which I think is a work of art in progress and has some pretty feasible business venture possibilities -- but for your committment to this thread. A lot of us have cars -- mostly 914's but I'm sure there are a few "foreigners" following along, too -- and we've all dreamed of some sort of modification if only we had enough time/money/skills/other to get it done. But you're actually doing it AND writing about it humbly and graciously, even when some of the readers offer their "advice" in a less-than-gracious (IMO) manner.

I doubt I'll ever create something as striking as the Anklebiter, but I'm glad I get to share along with all the other readers as you do. We met a few years ago when you were at Renegade and -- now that I finally own a 914 -- I keep going back and forth: stock or Subie? Stock or Subie? And that's all because of you.

Now, of course, that question is morphing into "everyday Subie or super-morphed Dana special Subie?"

<sigh>......if only I had $75K................. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I have sat here at an can truly say that I love this build. I came across a Porsche 914 Carrera GT rendering and didn't seem to like it as much, but your work has prove me otherwise. Keep up the good work! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

I have indeed moved to Boulder, the problem is that the 914 is still in Wyoming.
As soon as I get it down here work will begin once again, probably in about a month.

While moving I stumbled upon some old negatives from the day I found the 'biter and have added them to the first page of the thread, she has come a long ways huh?

It's sping break and I finally had some time to spend on the car. As some of you may know I moved down to Boulder, CO in January but my car is still in Laramie, WY. I drove up on Sunday and was finally able to make some progress on the car.

I started out by welding in the center beam for the new cross member.

Then I welded in filler panels for the corners, as you can see they are crazy pieces that needed a lot of shrinking and stretching to fit.

Then I moved on to the most complicated piece of the cross member. I was remembering a 550 spyder I had worked on years ago and designed the cross member to echo those lines.

I finished up the cross member by capping it's back and bottom.

Here is the firewall with the humps on. I think the gap between them turned out pretty nice.

To finish off the fire wall I welded in some patch panels to fill the holes left by the speakers.
Thanks to Leo Imperial for getting out his sawzall and cutting me the perfect patches!

That is cool...similar thought and deeds going on here.

I am making that piece removable...and I am making three of them.
So, I am struggling with this.

One will be for a single hoop.
One for a double hoop.
One for no hoop.

I may just have a removable piece to add the second hoop and call it a day.
I love how you tied in the inner fender...do you have any progress pics of that funky area...I had a tough time due to the jog in the inner fender.
