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)

I vote stock... Or actually, as was stated, flip it before you add any (stock or custom) parts. And skip the paint job. Since it sounds like you got a good deal, cash out to fund your other project.
And do tell us the back story ... Over a beer. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) It sounds interesting. |

QUOTE(dudzy's914 @ Jun 29 2014, 03:41 AM) Painting the car might be a good idea if you're smart about it. The most expensive part of a paint job is the prep. It is also the area that can raise or lower the quality of the finished product. Your car is in a good stage for you to learn final prep procedures to get it ready for color. There are many threads here with expert advice about this process. You can save money and learn more if you start looking for a privateer to spray the car. You don't have to send it to a full blown body/paint shop if you can find someone who does side work in their spare time. Be careful of guys trying to take advantage of you by making sure you get solid references from owners of other cars they've painted. Your dad can probably help with this aspect. If it truly just needs a paint job and some minor fixes you should be able to learn a lot and make a little $$ to boot. |
