    Porsche 914 EV Project – March 2009 - #28

    After I finished up the door sill, I decided to hang the door and tackle the following…

    • Weld in new steel and cover the door handle insets. The car will have “shaved doors” and will be opened with a remote. This give the side of the car a long, clean line. You can see the roughed-in delete on the door handle in the picture.
    • Install the 911 Power Window Assembly.
    • Wire up the actuator and solenoids for the lock, door opening and window (up and down).
    • Install a modern door clasp to replace the stock 914 door clasps. The problem is that the 914 door latch moves sideways and I needed to open it from a “downward pull” of the solenoid. The inside area to “play in” in a 914 door is very limited. The mounting will require fitting, alignment and welding.
    • Line up the rear quarter panel and get it fitted.

    I will document the shaved door installation and power windows in later posts.

    The side view shows the car with the pieces hung and it is starting to look like a Porsche again, albeit an ugly one!
