New member / Lsx project

[driveability]

I just bought a unfinished project car. One day I was driving and saw an interesting car being worked on in a random garage 30 miles away from home. Turns out it was a 1973 Porsche 914, but no normal car.I have seen many V8 914 and owned a very nice one 2 years ago but this one was different.
The unfinished project was so so so much more then my old car and i stopped to chat with the owner. This guy is real talented, he built a sub-frame that was incredible. He incorporated a late model Porsche 911 /996 complete front and rear suspension into the car. The workmanship blew my mind ( me anyway). Here is a picture of the car and yes I bought it a few days later. The pictures don't show the real talent this guy has so only seeing it close up in person would tell the best story. I'm going to finish the project and drive the S##t out of this car !!! I'm sure I will come to you guys for advise, I sure hope its welcomed

Welcome to Lat-G

Really looking forward to watching this one! I worked for a Porsche dealership in '76 right out of high school and I've been a Porsche fan ever since.

Big-bore go-karts can do that to a guy.

Yeah, i saw that in your original post that the pic was taken in the garage you found it in iirc...

But Sieg and i both drank the orange kool-aid and ride that particular brand....

but seriously, start a build thread, you'll get a lot of positive and knowledgeable feed back here.
