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? |

Thanks for all the replies... Super helpful. Here's an update after I took the side skirts off and took the passenger seat out. Rockers don't seem too terrible bad, but there is some rust. It looks like the original floor is there, but the previous owner welded the new metal on top of it, assuming that is why it would take so much work to weld a new floor pan in.
