To be completely transparent I’m really asking as a thought experiment to make myself have one more reason to enjoy the process of building one myself, but we have some people here that run quality shops and others that have used quality shops that I’m curious to get their feedback from.
My guess would be around 15,000? Do I get any points for asking in a run-on sentence? |

Right now I'm debating if it's worth doing a /6 conversion on spec
-I have a '73 914, good candidate but needs full body resto -all the RD parts, except flares. -core 2.7 /6 engine, STD/STD crank -rebuilt /4 901/914 tranny -85% of the 5-bolt kit plus a set of 5-bolt fuchs -/4 items I could sell -etc., etc. I likely could build a $75K Canadian (say $50K USD) 914/6....but is that worth investing the time for a spec car??? |
