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? |

Thats tough to see and worse to hear the answers i am sure. Whoever did that was bandaiding everything with parts he either had on hand or got cheap and then given that mindset almost certainly welded over bad metal. Everything that was done needs to be removed if you were actually going to try and save it. Then thousands of dollars of sheet metal and 100s of hours to put right (if that is even possibe).
I bet this community can find you a decent tub to swap your good stuff over to. |
