That is pretty cool, but he only has the front half.
Part it out of course, but maybe graft the front onto a beetle back, now that would be different.

Offer it up to guys who need metal for their rustorations. Help get more 914's back on the road.

Still a bunch of useful parts on that shell and the center of the cabin firewall is always useful to a 6 conversion.

I cut off a front of a 914 with a torch a long time ago and gave it to a friend. He made a couch in the front trunk and flip up drawers for the headlights.

How in the world would anyone end up with half a car?

BTDT I cut it up into little pieces, and eventually over several months they all fit into a trash can! One by one.

Sell parts and cut it up some more....

build it back up? Doesn't restoration design make enough panels to rebuild the back end?

Or buy that white 914 trailer and make a full car!

At first I thought BBQ also. All it needs is suspension and tranny pick-up points and the back half of a race car is ready. You weren't going to use the stock ones anyway.

Never thought a trailer could have stance, but that one does. Would be heart-achingly good looking on 15x8-inch Fuchs with 215/60 tires and GT touches. Trip on that...
