Relatively new to 914. Can someone explain what would be required to restore this car to a good condition? I would have to bring this car to a shop to do the work so I'm trying to understand if it would make sense from a cost perspective.

Restorations can go for a couple thousand to tens of thousands. Just depends on how far you want to go. This car looks like a very nice driver for the price.

Having just completed a 914 refresh, I agree with Mark. It depends on how you define “a good condition”. If you leave it red and can live with “patina’d” paint, it wouldn’t take that much. If you want to paint it - either restore to original color, some other color, or even fresh red - figure anywhere from $5-10k as a starting point if you did some of the prep yourself and paid for the paint and welding. Add a few more thousands if you need the shop to do it all.
