After much prevarication and been the butt of many a joke, bought myself a 914 project car.
Was converted RHD , painted, new interior and wiring all about 20 years ago. Never made it back on the road in part due to a dead motor and a dispute. So the intervening years, its had some water ingress and a bit knocked about due to indifferent storage. But is a solid car in all the areas these usually aren't.
Aim will be to convert it to a 6 and at the moment thinking it will be a GT sort of thing, how GT not sure, though plans may change and I may leave it narrow body and have a fat typ4 with all the fruit built.
So am collecting parts for the 6 conversion (everything is needed) as they become available and also will be on the look out for any special parts/ancillaries that may have been used in period on the GT cars. Biggest issue been not that many 914's of any version about in OZ.
I've got no timeframe for the build and am prepared to wait till I have amassed everything I need, before commencing.
So if you know of some wreck or come across something interesting let me know.
cheers Michel
