It's been a while since I've posted on the 914 board... And, in part, that's because of "out of sight, out of mind" - I've been storing my 914 at a friend's garage for the last 2 years to make room for other projects.
Well, we've had a lot of snow in the north east this winter - and the garage where my car sat wasn't up to the task of supporting all that weight. The roof came down on the front of my car, it cracked the roof, dented the roll bar, broke the windshield, dented the windshield header, dented the front fenders, and dented the hood. Luckily, I had it insured - but the insurance company has totaled it. Value to repair exceeds the car's value. However, I've had this thing for 19 years... and done a lot of the work myself, so thus begins a new chapter, a second restoration of the car. If anyone is near New York and has any good body panels, let me know! Attached image(s) ![]() |

Chris, bummer to hear about the teener. But don't let the insurance company total it! Teener values are higher now than when mine was wrecked, and you're damage is much less (assuming no structural damage - since most adjusters wouldn't know what to look for anyway).
I refused to let them total it. I got revised estimates from a shop that could actually repair the panels with metal (not replace), got some very good used parts (bumper mostly), and a complete exterior repaint for less than a fraction of the insurance adjusters estimate. If you want I'll post some pics of my damage when I get home and you can compare. Hang in there brother! |
