1972 Porsche 914
Willow green
Very solid; perfect hell hole and rockers
10 year old restoration on suspension, brakes and steering; elephant rubber bushings, turbo tie rods, all new bearings, shocks, rebuilt calipers, new MC, rubber lines, etc...
Original engine with ~120k miles; odo hasnt worked in years
Engine has 4 - 6% leakdown
Tranny shifts ok, have to slow down to get in first
Needs 3 1"x1" patches where drivers side rocker cover attaches to rocker ( rust perforations where screws went through body)
Running on Empis but have complete FI in boxes.

Pulled engine to replace clutch cable and have not been motivated enough to reinstall yet.
Drive my auto miata most of the time now.
Tells me it is time!

Cosmetically in OK shape; needs seats recovered, new dash, and also has some minor hail damage to front/rear deck lids. Have blasted and primed decklids available.
Also have a 2056 kit in boxes; raby carb cam kit, new 96mm P/Cs, jesco machined case and crank, etc...

Thanks guys.
Still not sure which way I am leaning.

Not sure what expensive work is required?
Original engine still has a lot of life left.
Next level would be to recover seats, new dash, and paint f/r hoods.
I even have enough brown basket weave material to recover both seats and door cards, even though door cards are fine.

VERY solid mostly original sheet metal.

Sourced all/most parts for the 2056 but the original engine runs so good I never felt the need to replace yet.

So only number thrown out was $15k?
Was that including the 2056 parts?
So maybe 12k for the car and 3k for the 2056?

Numbers on sales and auction sales are all over the place,
for sure not less than $12k, if there is no long or jack point, hell hole longs etc.
It looks like just a little bit of cosmetic work with interior clean up, like carpet kit and the upholstery getting done and it could be $20k with the parts included for motor refresh.
sounds like the suspension upgrades should be good for a while still since it hasn't had a lot of miles put on it. If you put a little time and or $ into addressing the few thinks that are likely to turn off some buyers, i think you could do BAT or PCArmarket and get the most out of it.
