Can I express an interest in the bonnet, please.

I need to measure and see if one fits in either 'normal' car.

Where in Mid Wales are you?

4-wheel-drive 914

My first ever attempt at 1/10th scale. I've had the various bits hanging around for a while - OK, a long while - the body shell delivery box had a postage date of 25/05/2007. I shortened the chassis to suit over a few evenings this winter and cut the shell months ago, but mislaid the can of red pain...

Thanks for the update - very interested to hear how you get on.

If I'm seeing it correctly, the cable-routing product turns the clutch pivot through 90 degrees - I might have to get/make one of those. Where did it come from? And where do you route your speedo cable?

Thank you Al - and the other DDK'ers who have stepped forward - I'm sorted now, I think (courtesy of DDK).

Hello Mark - how the devil are you?

Did you know I have a photograph of you on my wall? - don't worry, it's only because you were behind the wheel of the 914 when it had it's photo taken for the 'Crap Cars' calendar.

Hi Carl My 'heavy' door is the wrong way round for me from a balance perspective - my driver's side, so your passenger side if that makes sense!

Andrew I have one early door and one later door on mine (due to what I could get at the time) - the difference is huge! Easy conversion early to late or vice versa - I intend to have my door reskinned in aluminium next winter and cut out the armco that is side protection! Cheers Wayne Hi Wayne, I h...

I have the full MSD setup - dizzy, controller, coil - on my 914, and I'm a huge fan. Fitting was very easy - the article linked above works fine, and the MSD instructions include a guide to choosing springs for the advance curve (can't remember exactly - think it might be 2 light silver springs). I ...

When I needed to choose a mobile phone / pda thingy for work, I had a choice of two HP models: 614 or 914... It was a huge disappointment to me when it arrived that it doesn't have it's model number displayed anywhere on it :roll: http://www.tracyandmatt.co.uk/blogs/media/tracyandmatts_blog/windowsl...

A 914 with a fresh MOT is a beautiful thing!

I hate the stress of MOT time - I'd worried myself into anticipating a fail on some item or other that I couldn't see for myself - but no! A clean bill of health - no advisories, and a couple of gratifying comments about how nice I kept it, the excellent condition of the suspension and the 'unusuall...
