I need the teener worlds opinions on the Youthful Endeavor build: ( If you haven't checked it out yet, you should)
(It is a '75 2.0l FI) Bone stock: Being, restore to completely original. 100% factory. ...or... Upgrades: Well, #1: vote in the poll, and if you choose "tasteful upgrades" then tell me what your opinions are of an appealing upgrade. I will be selling this car soon after I finish the restoration(all it needs is paint) to pay for my '74 914 race project, so I want it to appeal to a wide audience. All the rust repair was done by the PO. He got most of the way throughout the restoration then ran out of steam. Seriously all it needs is paint. Attached thumbnail(s)

If you're looking to sell it to finance another project then keep it stock and get it running and driving as good as possible. Isolate the features of the car that you can improve with sweat equity and attack those. The more time you spend cleaning and fixing the weak points the more you'll learn about the car and the better it will present to buyers.
Keep in mind that money you put into it will not return on a dollar for dollar basis. That means that 'tasteful upgrades' won't be profitable when you sell. |
