Thought you guys might be interested in these. The little car held up pretty good for what it was put through. Right now I am dealing with the question as what to do with the car? Any suggestions? I was considering trying to save it...adding a body kit in the long run. Maybe creating a large go cart for pure play. Or parting it out?

Yes thank God everyone is okay. I am pretty lucky. I was traveling about 61mph before sliding with the brakes locked for about 24 - 25 feet and then collision. Crazy scary ride. It happened so fast! It probably helped that he was not on the brakes and rolling slowly forward. I pushed him in the ditch.

I hit an early 90's minivan. His van didn't look to bad considering. His bumper was pushed underneath and the hatch/trunk was messed up but still opened and closed!

The crumple zone of this little 914 was amazing. It crumpled right to the gas tank and then stiffened up. I don't see any damage on the gas tank itself yet. Near the bottom the metal protecting it is bent. I can't open the pass. door. But that's because the fender is pushed against it. I am hoping/expecting it to open and close fine once I get the fender off of it. You can see where both doors (on the side that opens) banged the rear fenders...but then they came back to original position. I can't tell if it collapsed the passenger side floor in or not? I don't remember how much leg room the passenger side had. Now it is quite less than the drivers side.?? Also the pass. door is slightly pushed out where the little glass is suppose to seal against the windshield post.

The trans mounts did break and pushed the motor forward. Therefore my shifter is not working correctly. I am hoping the shifter will work when I get the trans/engine back in place.

I don't really want to sell it...I would rather fix it...hot rod it...or make a cool ass go kart?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) How much could I get a front clip for? Is this something I could do myself? Maybe I could find a clip with some upgraded 911 parts! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) I would love the 930 front.

Thier was only liability. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

The original seat belt held me in. My thought before the crash was this is going to be bad. It was immediately over. I checked myself and the cab in amazement that I didn't hit the steering wheel. First thought after the crash: "That seat belt did a good job!"

Keep the ideas coming on what I should do.
