As you can see this 914 has an old front end damage to the right side. Rest of the car is in decent shape, some rust but less than any other east coast I’ve seen. How much is invoked in repairing the front end issue? If I go look at it what should I look for?

To me it’s a parts car that is fixable but the cost to fix is more than the car is worth. At $100-200/hour, the dollars add up very quickly.
...And then you still have to fix the rust. |

The damage in the front is not insignificant but if that’s all, it’s very doable, only a matter of cost. With rising prices it very well maypencil out. |
