So after talking it over with my wife, it has been agreed to keep 4742914807 Bumble Bee LE. So this will serve as my long term restoration thread (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
(edit) I have a 5 year goal of driving it by end of 2025. This winter the plan is to make room in the garage, get it stripped down to a rolling tub and then talk with some of our localish 914 body work gurus on rust repair plans. I have known about this car for over 15yrs or so. Got the call a few weeks back that owner is having health issues and is selling off his collection of projects. Deal was made on Nov 9th and I dug it out of the pole barn and brought it home. Here are the pictures of that day. Attached image(s)

QUOTE(914werke @ Nov 25 2019, 04:52 PM)  that has GOT to smell BAD! It is ripe (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) I'm wearing a respirator, long gloves and goggles. QUOTE Damn, Garold. I'm a sucker for projects. But, wow! What? Its not that bad. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Trunks are solid, no past crash damage, I have the correct front & rear bumpers, outer longs are solid, hell hole looks to have just surface rust only. I can pull everything I need for the interior from my stash of Ture, it is by far the worst interior I have ever seen, but overall it has solid bones. |
