i've restored an 80 vw westy and a 68 vw single cab truck. i'm looking for a new project. i've lost a ton of $$$ on these projects but it keeps me sane. i like the look and history of the 914 and it seems that project-status cars are around for a decent price. does my previously-dented wallet prepare me for what's ahead if i go this route, or are we talking a completely different ball game?
i "restore" vehicles to make them safe and fun and usable, not showroom or anything like that. what should a guy look for in a project car? |

These cars feel amazing. One of the most fun cars I have ever driven... and I have driven many very $ cars. I have a picture of my son when he was three months old while we were in a Mercedes SLR, and another while he is in a Carrera GT. If I could buid a 914 or own one of those I would still choose my 914. Plus, no one expects it to be fast. You can make these scream and go around corners at much faster clips than most other cars.
