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? |

Last one The only one is in Vegas?! I don’t get that part at all. Trying to scare you off does make sense. It is gonna cost more than you probably want to pay, and the dealer gets nothing out of restoring 914s. Other than points towards karma and sainthood. I will be driving through Minnesota in a few months. I might be able to swing by if that would help. Shifting into first gear always reminds me of the novel Dune. You are not alone. |
