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) |

You may be in luck. I have a nice 914 I was in route to sell, when someone backed into it in a parking lot. The car is mechanically sound, rebuilt 2.2 2000cc engine, solid body, etc. The front hood and driver side front panel need to be replaced. My insurance company totalled it, but I can buy the car back from them, which I was thinking of doing as there's interest in it as is. I would just sell it for almost 1/3 of what I was selling it for. If interested, let me know. I will buy it back if someone wants it. I have the weekend to decide. Was going to post a thread with pics tomorrow morning when I get home.
