One of the first things you need to ask yourself is "What am I going to us the car for" Daily driver, Autocross, combo of both. Next start looking for rust damage i.e. under the battery tray and pull the longitudinal covers and inspect for rust using a screwdriver and do some serious poking around on the surounding metal. In my case the previous owner had done some real nice fiberglass overlay on the rust under the battery tray and I didn't see any rust, but when I pulled the long covers, I found damage caused from the battery acid. You can buy almost every body metal repair parts for the 914 form Automobile Atlanta, Pelican Parts to name a few places you can find many parts on this forum in the classified section. You can spend a lot of money on this car if you don't watch out, so have a plan. Concentrate on the body, and drive train first, take your time and have a vision of what you want the car to be in the future. You have come to the right place for tech info here, believe me I have asked a lot of questions here. Welcome and best of luck. Mike
