Those look awesome. But curious why you went with steel instead of glass? I never thought of going that route.

I wanted to use as many factory parts as I could, I know I'll never recoupe what I have already spent (if I ever even was willing to sell it, I'M NOT!!) but just wanted to build in my mind, the best 914-6 that I could 
Just my dream car, to me it is worth it, others think that I'm nots being I could have bought a nmeww 997 with what I have spent on this baby

..RacerBVD...don't forget to change out the eng. oil cooler before putting the engine in. The cooler in the pic is a 911 (non 90 deg turn) and will not clear the L/rear trailing arm. Use a 9146 cooler, or mod the end with a #16 AN 90 .

Nothing but work for me lately and since the garage I was having built is stalled, so is everything  else.

Thanks, I have the correct cooler, but we had to use that one on the dyno.

The tranny is currenly being built with a billet inter plate & sides, as well as a factory LSD, i-Systems is gearing it to match the 3.0 they built & tuned on their dyno. Little by little, it gets closer.

Hey what is the latest on this GT conversion?? I just bought myself a 1973 914 so I can do the same thing  !!
I have other car and motorcycle projects too (had 914, 914LE, 911SC, Carrera, 930, 993TT and now am on the dark side with F-cars) ..... but I 'always wanted' a 914 GT .................. so post more pictures so I can get motivated .... !!!
1st post from fellow former BMXer ............
