No, either you misunderstood me, or I wasn't clear with my first post.

My questions center around using 914 components as a base for a tube framed sports car. Bodywork, or lack thereof, is secondary.

Nope, but there are lots of 914 donor cars around.
My fascination actually goes back to a street legal Formula Vee I saw for sale a while ago. I was interested enough to start making calls and hunting around, but then got turned off by the low-tech aspects of them. Swing axles, drum brakes etc. A 914 seems like a better starting point for what I'm considering
