I finished rebuilding the drivers side frame rail area today.
Next I need to fill a couple small holes in the firewall and start building the door jamb to firewall connection.

Hey Dana,

What boost sensor are you using? My boost guage stays pegged all the time. I thought I put a 930 sensor on there. Is that right?

Ed




Hey Ed,
Mine is a VDO piece.
The part number reads: 993-606-103-00
The other side reads: 0-1.5 Bar

Thanks Dana

Spring break is upon us and by some miracle I have absolutely no obligations for the next 5 days, time to get some work done!
I pretty much wrapped up the firewall today, I boxed in the outer portions of the firewall and made a solid sealing surface around the bulkhead for the tilt up rear to rest on.
After welding all of this up the tub was noticeably stiffer and the door jambs fit much better.
Stay tuned for 4 more days of huge progress!

I just noticed...are you really going with stock door latches? I thought you were going to modify this thing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Haven't decided yet, I will run them while I test the chassis then figure out what to do for door handles when I do the body, I will probably steal a pair off a Del Sol or a miata type car, not totally sure yet.

I've always liked the 914 handles from a design point of view. Minimal, light and simplistic. They are, along with the hourglass profile in the bodyline, the most unique and clearly defining elements of the design. Maybe not perfect from an engineering standpoint, but clearly a uniquely 914 element.

I look forward to see your possible interpretations!

I totally agree, I have always liked them too, I may end up making some custom handles that preserve the lines of the originals but actually function properly.

I finished welding up a couple details on the firewall, then got the tub down off of the jack stands to turn it around.
It is always startling to take a car off of tall jack stands, it is so tiny!

I turned the car around, put it back up on the jack stands, then pulled the doors.

I built a front suspension jig then taped out the cut line to remove the nose from the tub. Lots of cutting to do tomorrow!

I don't care how you slice it, that thing is sexy from every angle.

Ok, back to work. You have a couple more days to overwhelm us with stellar progress.

If anyone was wondering, the nose as you see it weighs in at 52 pounds.

Another advantage to cutting your car into thirds, you can park it sideways in the garage and still have plenty of room for the wife's car!

So does this mean it's going to have a flip open front with wish-bone suspension?
