914-6 for sale near me, Save me from myself!? Options

[TRP]

Hey Gang,

I stumbled upon a pretty tattered 914-6 for sale in my area. It sustained some *serious* damage back in the early 80's (according to the ad). Knowing what I know about welding/painting/etc - this car is beyond my capabilities. Knowing what well done 6s are going for, you may not be upside down at the end if you could do the work yourself. The rear corner seems to be the worst of what you can see. Side note, I wonder what this thing looked like in it's hey day? The 80's were a wild time.

According to the ad, the car will also include a donor 914 shell for chassis repair, as well as bumpers and other miscellaneous parts to assist with repair.

I have the room and most of the skills necessary... (/me starts thinking...) I mean... I've seen Ben install flares... how hard can this be?!

Thanks
Ted

It should be saved, but it wont' be a money maker to do right. Being a real 914-6, hopefully it doesn't get picked up and just have a bunch of donor parts/fenders welded on. Already said, needs to be put on a Cellette bench, straightened and fixed correctly.
