OK, lets assume you buy a nicely restored chassis for $5000. Then you take all of the parts off your "worst for wear" driver and put them on that new chassis. Magically you now have a factory 914-6 in pretty good condition. Is it worth it?
What if you paid $5000 for your "worst for wear" driver; now you have $10k in this pretty good factory 914-6. Is it worth it? What if you had put a whole bunch of money into your "worst for wear" driver and add it to the pretty good 914-6 total. Is it worth it? Seriously though, I'm contemplating this sinerio right now. Is a VIN number really worth it? |

what are you talking about? the longitudes are in very good shape! the floor is only surface rusted!(and that is where it has no paint only!) it needs the jack posts repaired, they are strong enought to use still, just the lower plate was rusted, the car has less rust on it than the one that Rob ways is selling!, i will take a new set of pictures, the problem is that i only took shots of where there was any rust, i did not take any of where there wasn't ....whatever. as far as 2 chassis weled together, i thought that too. but here is the deal, show me the seam, you can't. it has had the dash and cowl clip replaced. this is the crap i get for trying to save a 6.....whatever
