Hi I'm new the webstite basicly because I'm wondering if this car would be very restorable? And what it looks like it may need. If I get it, I'm wanting to fix it up enough to run, fixing the majar rust, and try to prevent the rest from getting worse for the next few years. I asked for a few more pictures and in the pictures a few of the pans will need replaced. The only thing I'm worried about is the rocker panel area. I am a beginner with working on cars but I'm willing to learn and work on it. Thanks! For any input.

QUOTE(billh1963 @ Dec 8 2011, 06:46 AM)  Look on this site for some project cars....there are a few nice ones available. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) And since you're new to the site they are found in the Classified Forum under "FS/WANTED: 914 Cars and Rollers" In my experience, from newbie to somewhat less of a newbie over the last 1 1/2 years, you're going to end up spending $5000-$10000 to get a 914 that you can drive around (more if you want to autocross / race). The thing you have to think about: do you want to buy something like your Ebay find for $500 and use the rest of the $4500 - $9500 a little at a time (over a long time) learning / fixing, buy something for more $$ and work on it less, or just bite the bullet and by something that is ready to go with few fixes. |
