Definitely get a picture or two of that bug if you get another chance to. Love the 914 with the scoobie in it.

Do you have any new videos of driving the car around?

I'm keeping my eye on this build as well, please keep with it.

Nice! I used to have a moderately modified 91 talon tsi with a whole bunch of Busher racing products on it, fun car. Looking forward to seeing some photos.

The last time I was home in North Carolina visiting my parents I found this almost perfectly preserved butterfly in the back of their extra car. The lighting isn't very good and gave it a grainy feel but I am an amateur point and shoot guy at best. One shot of an old surf trip in Baja, and a few of a funky little fly on my plants.

Actually how about $25?

I've got an extra one minus the tps, how about $960?????

For me I'm hoping it would not be too complicated to have two turn signals running in tandem (front stock position + in my case side bmw turn signal/running lights). I know next to nothing when it comes to the electronics aspect, but am more than eager to learn. Also wondering if 07' Porsche 997 led lights would fit the stock 240z space and curvature.

Ha ha, keep us posted with the progression. Like this idea...

You might do well to broaden your reach and request on Craigslist in LA, San Diego, etc....

Anything new with this Clive?, or any one else with similar intentions? I'm considering changing my front turn signal lights to led 's of some sort and like the Mercedes design.

A few pics of cars that have been of inspiration to me for different design aspects.

So it's been a while and time for a little update. A few months back I had my car moved from Bob's house to Stuart the body man's to receive more attention and keep it garaged. Upon my decisions as far as design and style were concerned (smoothed and blended in wherever possible), Stuart began to mold in the rear three piece imsa spoiler and re curve the joining arc to the existing side body line. He split seams down the sides and vertically up the rear to pull out the subtle z panels to split some of the difference in blending into the extra thickness of the spoiler. Expanding foam was used to fill in and support the newly made gaps. Fiber glassing the mat into shape then applying a kevlar mix of bondo, then a lot of sanding ensued. The rear spoiler had a funky split that actually did not line up well with the seam running down from the hatch and body. It was cut on an angle and was wider at the bottom and pinched at the top. A lot of attention has been spent on getting proper gaps on this build. I have eliminated the hatch lock as well as had the door handles filled in and eliminated, (just could not get the white Common Snapper car out of my head). I revisited the idea of venting the inner front fenders near the firewall and picked up a set of 03' Hyundai Tiburon side vents to have molded/beveled into the fenders. To me it makes a big difference by beveling an add on item (as if it was intended by the factory), rather than just plucking it on the outer side of the body. We have yet to cut the dimple die holes into the fenders and apply the vents as of yet. In order to eliminate a busy feeling of the vents and bmw side lights, I had Stuart move the lights forward and up onto the body line more. To me visually this felt less crowded or busy, and still carries out it's intended function and job. I picked up a cheap, cracked 240sx dash to use as the test fitter, then will make the proper cuts to my mint one. Hope to have it covered in alcantara, or leather, have not decided as of yet. I found out from a local Porsche dealer that the 996/boxster gauges look analog, but are controlled via sensors in the hubs that feed to the computer to dictate speed. Pity because I absolutely love that cascading gauge layout, and think it would have fit amongst the 240sx binnacle. I will most likely go the Auto meter route now instead. That's about it for now as we continue on with sanding the rear spoiler, and will start on the fender venting shortly. Here are some relevant pictures.

I have my original 73' that I had powder coated a satin black.

Thats an old address, as he relocated in San Diego around November. I have not been able to get in touch with him for the last 6 weeks. I need a few small items to complete my build.

Yes indeed you have a fantastically, well built car. Loving the RB more and more

I have a brand new, unmounted, fiberglass BRE style rear spoiler purchased from MSA that I will not be using and would let it go for $140. I have decided to use a three piece imsa style on my car instead. I'm in east county San Diego (La Mesa).

Justdashes.com.. Expect to receive a quote in the $1600 range though.

Any pics of the 914?

Zoop seal to lock in the shine.

Each and every addition to this thread has me lusting for an rb more and more. I would love to build a rb30/26, maybe one day. Can't get enough of these fine builds.

I'm looking forward to seeing the completed car, and love that color. As a matter of fact, I'm stuck on deciding colors between the space grey, 07' subaru urban metallic, or 12' ford edge silver. Definately show some more pics when it's finished.

It looks beastly and almost ready for business!

I am interested in this as well.

As of today my three local junkyards are not giving up any goods, with zero s30's available. So then yes I am interested in a drivers side. I will pm you next.
