a couple weeks ago i posted some some pics off my sons 914 that collided into a drunk and her son (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/drunk.gif) who ran a stop (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/icon_bump.gif) (2-way stop,it was determined 100% her fault and she was cuffed and arrested (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif) ) fortunately my son and wife seem to be overall o.k.. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif)
now the fun part of dealing with the insurance, they say its should be fixable but i am a little worried. the body shop gave a estimate of $5800-ouch-.
i would like to know more about the first 1000 of the 73' 1.7's which mine is. auto atlanta gave me some scolding (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif) when i asked about parts converting to 916 and he saw pic's and checked v.i.n.. the only thing i know at this point is it has 1)vinyl around windsheild 2)A.R. rims (dealer installed?)

ANY KNOWLEGE WILL BE GREATLY APPRICIATED!
thanks

$5800 in repairs??

ouch indeed...I'm sure the insurance company will be totalling it, what have they said??


as for AA and "converting it" to a 916???, do you mean just the 'glass bumpers and GT flares?

there is more to a 916 than the ugly bumpers....steel welded roof, a special 6 motor, the list goes on and on....now why they gave you bad time, who knows, I guess they don't want to sell you anything or you are just asking the wrong questions

you might find more about the vinyl on the a-pillars in one of the 914 info/restoration books.....if trying to determine if your car is "special" and overly rare to be worth more than your average 914 in the same condition...well, only if you like the extra vinyl and the rims are a dime a dozen, so it's more of a personal choice............
