Sure, everyone knows of the /6 owners that have spent all the money, but what about the /4's? I vaguely remember a few folks that have restored 4 cylinder 914's. Have some pics to share? Success/failure stories? I wanted to start a completely new thread for the subject.

From start to finish, including the $4,700 I paid for the car. I spent $31,640.00 at the body shop and $41,304.39 on parts for total of $72,944.39 to restore mine. That amount is free maintenance or repair bills. Here's what mine looked like after the stripping This one's from last years P2O that sounds about right. figure it takes about 20K for a good paint job done correctly if there is minimal rust repair and no body damage. it seems to me that some 914 owners got into 914's because they are cheaper than 911's. but in reality it costs much more to restore a 914 vs a 911 because they were not as popular which makes it hard to find certain parts to complete a true restoral. |
