New to this forum but I've been around 944s, 924Ss, Boxster and Cayman forums for years.
This one is going to take some time. Purchased for $900, non-running but otherwise complete '73 914 2.0. Certainly just beyond a viable restoration car but probably okay for what I plan to do with it. Here's some highlights of the tear down... On the trailer going to the house. Attached thumbnail(s) |

I paid 4500 bucks for that green car back in the late 90s. It looks better than it was having taken hits in each corner (fender benders) and the paint was falling off in sheets
"The plan" didn't include making it a full ime race car.......but there is the "slippery slope" personified. By the time I was done selling parts off the car, it maybe cost (WAG) $1K, minus the agravation and had a solid chassis (for a 914) to boot. ..... |
