Lovely. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Who was it here who was building one to go racing. Autohausdolby? It was me. I've sold it due to a (ahem) disagreement with SPL. ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png) It's with a DDK member down South now. Last I saw it was in the workshop of one of those expensive looking 911 historic racing restorer types.

Last I saw it was in the workshop of one of those expensive looking 911 historic racing restorer types. Shame. Its rare for me to remember who's doing what so the way you jumped in to such a funky project obviously must have triggered something in my brain Hope the car gets finished well.

;D I'm glad it made people smile. I enjoyed writing the original thread where it went from a moment of inspiration to buying and making progress on the car in about 5 minutes.
I was really unhappy about the way it turned out though. Suffice to say the only car ownership cycle I was less happy about the outcome of was when I wrote off a lovely Mk2 Golf by driving it into a wall. Sometimes it's a shame you can't say what you want in the internets, I've yet to have a rant about it properly and it's been over a year now.
I'd have my car bead/soda blasted or whatever in future.

Looked like a hell of a project, saw this one a while ago at my local Burger King and had a bit of an accident ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) Gorgeous cars, especially with the flared wheelarches. ![](http://img4012.photobox.co.uk/57571328c5566d42f04a362d8a14c3f78c372f573923fcb179014651f3d53f03b660236d.jpg)

If I hadn't already had a good rant about my bad experiences with SPL on tonybmw's victor thread I'd say it all over again on here, suffice to say I sympathise with whatever suffering they've inflicted on autohausdolby as well, been there done that.... back on track aint 914-16's great though I do think they're one of those cars that just look akward and gawky in photos but look absolutely great in the metal that said... ![](http://www.2blowhards.com/Porsche%20914%20red.jpg) ![](http://www.cargurus.com/images/2009/07/05/09/24/1971-porsche-914-pic-4200.jpeg)

I'll take the green one please!
I had a porsche book as a kid and the pages with these wee beasties alwways fascinated me more than the 911 and 959 etc. Prices seem to have become stronger on these in recent years too.
