i was wondering if anyone could give me a guess on how much it would cost if i stripped my 914 down to a rolling chasis. then have it sand or bead blasted, then primed and painted and sprayed with por 15 on known rust areas. thanks

lets see,
If you do it right, and there is normal amounts of rust.... close to 10k. Then you need all new rubber, new interior, new motor etc... It really depends on the base condition of the car. They all have rust, how much does your car have? show some pics, let us know where you live (regional pricing and retuable shops) Rich |

You might be able to pull it off for something close to that *if* you don't rebuild a motor and transaxle, *if* you do 90% of the work yourself including paint, bodywork and rust repair and *if* you have pristine parts already on the car so you don't have to replace even half of them. Add up the cost of all of the parts that you know you will want to replace and I think you;ll find the cost of the parts alone worth at least $10k. My tub alone cost more than that to acid dip, rust rpair and paint. Way more. I didn't do it myself, and I drug it across country needlessly (who knew until the fat lady was tuning up), but $10k still wouldn't have gotten it done even if that hadn't been the case. Really, it's a question that can't be answered with the information provided. bOnly you can really answer it. You know what you'll want to have done and what you can do yourself and what's good on your car now and what isn't, etc... THat was the long answer. The short answer is... afuchnlotacash!
