Hi All, I am new to the world of car restoration and 914's. While cruising c's list I found a deal I couldn't refuse, and the rest is history. She runs, but she's rough. I trailered her home, drove her throught the neighborhood a few times then put her in the garage and have spent a few weekends chipping away at the cosmetic flaws. There's a lot of rust. But not in the places that I keep reading about (hell hole, floor pans, etc.) Currently, I'm torn. Do I put band-aids on the boo-boos and spend 7 months out of this year driving it like I stole it? Or start the grueling project of disassembly, rust repair and re-assembly? In the case of the latter, I won't get to enjoy her for a couple years... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Well I guess I am a glass half full kind of guy. I wouldn't call it a parts car until you really check it out. I like your suggestion to have some of the local guys come check it with you.
I have two 914s, one that I drive the snot out of and another I picked up last year as a project car. Check my thread (CLICK HERE) to see how it started. It looks somewhat simular to what you have shown so far. Besides what I paid for it I am in it so far for $1500 in parts and labor as I am not a welder (well not a good one anyway) so yes, I paid for rust repair work. Show us your pics once you check it more. |
