Porsche 914/6
I have always liked the 914. The only kit I am aware of is by Revell but it is not very detailed. So I will build it using parts from Fujimi's Enthusiast 911 kit to increase the detail.
Here is the kit I start with:

Re: Porsche 914/6
I clean up the body and attach the rear bumper.
 I thought the rear splash pan was to deep so I removed some of the material.   I also added inner rear fender panels and some channel to receive the rear glass.

I attach the windshield frame to the roof and add strip plastic to reinforce the joint.

Re: Porsche 914/6
The windshield frame is very fragile so I don't want to attach it until later in the build. I just tape it to the body to make sure everything will line up.

Re: Porsche 914/6
I begin modifying the chassis to accept the Fujimi parts.
 I also correct poor areas of the kit so the Revell parts will fit better.

Re: Porsche 914/6
The kit does not include a fire wall so I add sheet plastic to the back on the interior to simulate one.

Re: Porsche 914/6
I want to add pose-able front suspension so I need to create a tie-rod tunnel

Re: Porsche 914/6
The gearbox mounting bracket on the 911 is under the transmission. On the 914 it is on top.

Re: Porsche 914/6
Here are the wheels/tires I will be using. The turned aluminum rims are Detail Master. The Fuchs centers come from several Fujimi kits.
