Hi Guys
This is what I would do : Buy it from you discretely, private sale. (leaves options open) Find a clean tub, it would have to be stripped, a six project might even merit an acid bath. The tub now becomes a "part" Start tranfering everythin that is good on the smashed car to the tub, on a rotisery. Special attention to specific six stuff, like the colum. After resto, take it too a couple meets, pics , biuld a history with the car, watch your investment grow. Document everything. If its done RITE, this is a much better car then a fixxed smash of that degree. Don't get me wrong, anything is fixable, just the long term end results won't be satifactory. Scrub the tub adub bub (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) I am thinking that the person that will eventually do this project, need to be a huge 914 fan, with resorces, money and parts. If you run out of either, and cut corners, the car will have a "repair" value insted of a "perfect resto" value. How much of the resto documentation, you want to disclose is up to you, but if the job is not a six to the last detail, is bad Karma. For an origional 6, its worth the effort, investment vrs return...like all restos...but its a 6 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mueba.gif) Anyone that is doing or has done a resto, will agree, you need heart, this is a fucking project, not the 2 week kind. This is a cool post, maybe we should ask "how would you fix it" and see what members chime in. At the very least, your gonna get some options..
