Oh, here we go, I found out what the problem with the car is..

NOTE: I will be out of town getting married from June 7th to June 20th.

I agree the guy could back off on the pipe before his lip burns in terms of the sensationalisms, so to say he should say it's a junker bid fast is taking it too far the other way. I just don't understand why dipsticks get behind the keyboard and go apeshit with their descriptions when, seriously, anyone who would really buy a project 914 is going to be someone (most likely) that knows a lot about them and will see thru the BS anyway. Just makes him look dumb.

That said, the car actually does look pretty solid. Can't really see the hellhole, but the batt tray looks good and the general area around it. 'Course, he had "brilliant" body repairmen so that stuff could have been replaced. If so, then the insides of the car could look like crap.

And why couldn't his "brilliant" guy smooth the "original" spoiler in without cracking? He implies it is only bolted on so no bondo to crack... umm, okay... ask your body guy why he can't do that.

I agree about the bent jack point - how do you bend one of those without whacking something? I jacked up some pretty rusty ones and haven't had them bend (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Overall, he is definitely a bit left of center on his story, but that car looks like a solid project car and I was just at the track yesterday with my car and the 930 turbo brakes with stock pads were bringing that car down from 135mph pretty fast to head into turn 1, so he is right about the brakes, and those are not a cheap conversion btw. If I were so inclined to do a project, especially a sweet 6 conversion, I would keep my eye on it. His starting bid of $3K would barely buy you the 930 brake conversion parts (I have just over $3K in my stuff).
