Is this a good base car AXing?, ebay car - yikes! Options

[GaroldShaffer]

Ok, this car has been on ebay before and for whatever reason it seems to be calling my name (well all 914's do that to me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) )

My question for SCCA AXers is, would this be a good base project car to start with for AXing? For the record I haven't Ax yet, I will in a few weeks, and I know me I will be hooked. Hell I'm already hooked (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I have a 70 with a 2.0 that I want to use as my driver. I would like to have a car just for AXing / project car. I know there are AX cars listed here for sale but if I could get it for, say $2500 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) I think this would be a good start? Yes, No? Maybe? On thier website they want $4999 for it.

Just thinking out load. This usually costs me $$$

If the 70 is in great shape AX that one in what ever form it is in. Learn how to run this one and then find a second car. As you say, you haven't AX'd yet sooo try it out and then read the rule book. Decide where you want to run ie what class, SCCA or PCA. Then plan the car you want to run, changes, and how to fit the class you will run in. See you can do all this and get seat time now in your 70. The learning curve is pretty steep and as you get some experience you can make better decisions.
