Elmo the fat chick
Well here she is.
She's just had her engine rebuilt - nothing fancy yet, all stock.
Body-wise she's ok. Stupid council in Geelong dropped a cherry picker on the roof a while ago (we think) and there are still a few dimples - don't
know if they'll show up or not. Some rust in the usual places (bottom of doors etc) but won't really know till we get her stripped. She'd had a
really bad paint job before we bought her a while ago.
Pan's stuffed as you'll see in later pics. The rear window was leaking for a while and stuffed the footwell behind the passenger and the rear parcel
shelf.
Immediate plans:
Rebuilt balljoint/IRS pan with front disks (if I can bloody find or build one)
Koni's all round.
914 rims 
And maybe a Ragtop
Any suggestions?

Phew... and I'm spent! Sorry to anyone with dial-up.
The front bumber is all rusted up so we've gotta get a new one and some new mirrors.
Apart from that we want to fit some guages around the speedo (prob. tacho and 2-3 small ones) and maybe some sportier seats. |

Hi Rob
Sweet looking ride (dont worry a pan will turn up )
Got to have the anti estabishment sticker on a vw for sure
I am getting a headliner done at Car Trims pty ltd 1205 Toorak Rd Camberwell 98895183
Brent seems a really good dude and has done a shit load of volksy
There was a bay camper in there getting everything done and I was impressed with his work
He has to get back to me with total price of headliner and seats ( possibble leather in front ) but the headliner is $550 which sounds dear at first
but not if have a look at the job in total
I reckon thats a days labour and materials ?
Catch ya soon
PS chewy you still got my jack cause you havnt told me what colour coopers mate
Cheers Doc

Now that sounds tempting! |

I had the best day today! DOVW was so awesome and inspiring that I couldn't wait to get all the bargains I bought on. New bumper, mirrors, window
winders and last but certainly not least THE 914S ARE ON!

Bought a disk assembly for the front too so she's going to get the conversion and her dropped spindles done ASAP.
Many thanks to MR930 and Sax for the wheel related stuff this weekend.
Can't believe the only thing that went wrong was a big gash to my hand while changing the wheels! |

Yeah thanks for the offer though Doc.
She's booked in to get the spindles and disk front and subsequent lower on friday. Cause the tyres are pretty big I think she'll sit pretty well
with the drop the spindles'll give. Here's hoping |
