(IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) That guy is insane and addicted! That will be a huge project! It will be awesome to see all the work though and see if he goes all the way through with it.

Once he cuts out all the rust all that's left are 4 tires and jackstands.

That guy is crazy! But there are no extra shells in England. He will have to restore it unless he wants to pay big bucks for a nice one. It may be cheaper for him to buy a roller here in California and ship it.

What a sad story attached to the car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) It's like a dog left out in the rain and forgotten forever.

The owner knows what he doing though - just look at his signature! A fine collection of 914's....

However I suspect he might have realised that this one is just too far gone...

At least there's not much to cut out. More like $5,000 and some elbow grease.

The guy needs therapy.

I like the way some wag asks if it has a current MOT (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

If he decides to go through with it and it really does end up finished 100% that will be such a feat and very very cool. Always neat to see dedication resurrect something you would never think someone would do.
