 |
|
Four years ago when Covid hit, I came up with the idea of building a car with my children. my daughter 17 who was going to school at the time. to become a welder. she was no longer allowed to come to school due to covid and my 21-year-old son was unemployed, so we started building a car. I decided to build a steel car because it is much more complex than an aluminum car. and my daughter was not yet ready to weld aluminum and after all she was the one who would weld most of the car, I decided to make a Porsche type 114/2, a car that was designed in 1938 but never built. the car was designed with a water cooled v10 engine but i would make it with a vw 1944 KDF / Denzel engine in the coming weeks I will share the construction of the car with you

very cool project! It looks uncannily like the typ 64 recreations, except for the split rear screens. Are there any other adaptations to the original typ 114 project? The 114 was to be mid-engined and watercooled, I feel that a different engine than the old flat four could suit it this project better, for instance a highly efficient V6 of Italian extraction?

There are slots under the front bumper and a duct runs through the floor for fresh air for the engine. |

can you knock out enough cars to get a racing series homologated? 
is the floor a double skin like the 64?

The only reason a split Beetle's rear windows are split is to avoid the expense of drooping the glass to make it curved. Since the original Type 64 was much more curved than a Beetle, there would be no way to put flat windows in. This drooping was required. That meant there was no need to make it split.
In the 50s, the split rear windows was an undesirable feature.

The typ 64 was a race car and had perspex windows, that could be changed when needed, when they became scratched. That is why they cold use a curved rear window and partially curved windshields on car 2 and 3.
Perspex was not viable on a production car.
