So the Extreme Project stalled out
for a while. As any 914er, I'm trying to cut cost and save money
every step of the way while getting the best job possible. I sent
the car to an expert painter of ours. Well, he got caught up in
some higher paying work and put me off and put me off. Then he began
having some personal problems and to make a long story short - I
have the car back with only some minor work done. What a dissappointment
of time wasted.
Meanwhile, I got the first set of door panels back with Porsche
fabric. These are close to the Porsche 916 door panels only done
on angle. A great reproduction, quality door panel. I think with
the new sport seats, this is going to be a sharp look. See more
about owning either left
door panel or right
door panel.
Another last minute decision has been the outside mirror. Originally
I was going to just put factory mirrors on both sides of the car.
Then, since the paint failed the first time I went back to the drawing
board and decided I would put 993
Aero mirror kit on the 914. I had seen them on my buddy Dave's
car and after staring at them and learning how to install them,
we are going to add them to the extreme. We are also working on
an installation process to make the mirror addition easy. |
