Hi 914world,
I purchased this '74 914 about a year ago and recently went to a Porsche dealership to ask about some shops to do some body work (need floors and clean up some of the rust throughout) for a restoration project. They had one come over who said it would be near impossible for them to do and there is only 1 guy (in Vegas, I am in the midwest) who could do it, but it would cost $100k... thought they were joking but I guess not. Does anyone have any idea if this is real? / gotten body work done and have an estimate of how much body work should cost and if its possible to weld in new floor pans? |

I'm in Vegas, I'll cut that floor out and put a new one in for 50K. I'll even fix the hell hole for that price. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)
BTW I believe I know how they got to that price. 1. Our local dealer did a full restoration on a LE and they spent quite a bit doing body work. It was concourse quality though. 2. A local shop (one of three in Vegas) is currently doing a 914-6 and I know the guy doing all the welding on it. It's not as much of a basket case as yours but still required a lot of (and I mean a lot) Of metal work. Based on those two projects is probably where the price came in at. In all seriousness, you could buy a dry 914 in really nice shape for around 20k. This one is not worth it unless you personally weld and have done major body / metal work. |
