I have a decision to make but unsure of the way forward. Would you guys rather start with a nearly complete car with hidden rust that may have to be tore down and fixed or a car that is ONLY a shell with little rust to repair? Help me make the best decision and thanks in advance.

Beware of "Little Rust", a few pin holes or cheese cake could mean whole section cut off, if you want to do it right.
If you are new to 914 and need to choose one, I would go for the complete one. Save you time and money on parts. Think about why the car become a roller. If you strip the paint down, you might find a lot more rust. |
