Toby's 3.6 914-6 Options

[bwilless]

I've tried contacting Brad about this car, but he must be out of town or just busy. So I thought I'd ask the population. I'm interested in buying Toby's 914-6. I searched the board and Brad made a comment . . .

"It needs about 10k worth of work to make it cherry (paint+body work/wiring/cooling)"

Does anyone know the basis for this statement? Are there wiring issues, or could it be done better/nicer.

What about the cooling issue? Does it run hot, or could the cooling system be done better?

What about the body work/paint. Is it chipped up, or is there damage that needs to be fixed?

Any information would be appreciated. I'm not necessarily looking for a cherry car, but I don't want to have to put allot of money into it to start enjoying it right away.

Thanks,

Has fiberglass flares, and the paint is cracking in a number of places where the flares are joined to the body. If I remember correctly, one of the fiberglass flares has some damage as well.

It really depends on what you want out of the car. If you want a cherry looking car, then it needs some $$ and work. If you are looking for a brutally fast autocross and track weapon (always a top time of day contender in autox, not sure about track), then you've found your car.
