Porsche Crest Great project...

The more I see and hear of the stock bodied 914's with 911 engines, the more I like them.

All the benefits of an autocross champion with the stiff 914 body, but now with the power of a 911! What does it weigh? Do you know?

Sounds good to me, please keep us posted-

Are you planning to run it at the tracks?

Yet to weigh it....but probably around 2100lbs. It has a chasis stiffening kit.

After what you did to that 356, I can't wait to see what you do to this.
