Not my car. No affiliation. Looks like a good deal though.

Figured I should message him since its still for sale... also searched the VIN and looks like it might've been a nice car that I guess was worth more in parts than assembled

@http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=18763 Looks like this was your old car?

Sure does look like his old car. Look at the front fuel pump location.

This was in fact my old car. I'm guessing they swapped everything over to a better shell. IMO this is the worst part of the car. It looks cool until you get into it. Check my build thread for more photos.

Highlights or lowlights of the body not shown:

- passenger door rubs near bottom of latch due to prior fabrication
- flares are pulling from body causing cracking in some places
- pan to body below 6 engine mount has a 1" gap from pan replacement
- trunk perforated
- front passenger corner was replaced with a donor clip

Do I think it is worth $700 maybe to someone wanting to track the car or use some of the good metal on the car, but it will need extensive body work to be a show car. Surprised they didn't list it as being setup for a 6.
