what should i do? Options

[i love porsche]

so ive been thinking lately,

im a college student, trying to do a full restoration on my 914, also, not having a really steady job is hard too....i love my 924S, and if it was my only car, it would be perfect, but i have the 914 im dying to drive, and i need to throw money at it, while in the meantime i want to AX the 924S, BUT im very afraid of damaging it from driving too hard, because its my daily driver for one, and repairing it (even though i do my own work) will be really expensive...

so ive been toying around with the idea of getting an 89 or so Ford Escort GT, theyre incredibly cheap (good example for less than 1k) and reliable, and fun to drive from what ive heard, so i can still AX it, but with alot less worry.

also, i can probably get close to 4k for my 924S, so that means ill have a couple grand to throw at the 914, which means i can drive it a whole lot sooner

any thoughts?

Restorations will always, ALWAYS, cost more than you expect (let alone have). Previous advice was correct. If the car is worth doing, put it away for now and save it for when you have more than a student income. As to the 924, keep it. There are less of them in good shape now than there are 914's. Drive it. Don't spend even MORE money buying something else and insuring that too. Likely the 924 won't depreciate and don't let people tell you that it is a POS. That's the same thing they said about 914's 20 years ago. Who's laughing now?
