Hello 914 world.

I just purchased a '73 914 1.7. (i screwed up on buying it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) , but that is a long story. basically, i bought it sight unseen and the seller totally lied to me about everything)

so now i have a 914 1.7 (was told it was a 2.0) that has been sitting for a while not covered (was told it was stored inside covered) that has horrible paint (was told it was original and in good shape. it is obvious from 100' away that it is a repaint) and i am not sure if it worth my time to rebuild or if i should just part it.

so i have come to the source of greater knowledge (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) to seek your opinions.
