Hi everyone,

I am new to this forum and have been lurking for the past couple of days. I recently bought my old 914 back after being separated from it for 13 years. Upon getting it back I started to do a little research on it and realized it is a limited edition model. It has all of the things from what I have read to be one.
I didn't realize what i had 13 years ago and made the mistake of painting the yellow lower blue and installing a header system on it and getting rid of the wheels. I autocrossed the car. I bought it back with the intentions of subaru swapping it. Now I dont know if I should. I have no idea of its worth. It was rust free when I sold it but unfortunately it has been sitting outside under a rotting car cover for 13years and has rust in the truck and under the battery tray. The oringinal paint is showing some bubbling in a few places as well.
What should I do with this car? Restore? Sell as is and find another to modify? The car also has airconditiong which i removed the compressor and disposed of. I have the oringinal yellow Mahle spare and the heat exchanger that were taking off it. The odometer is reading 67,xxx miles.
Please advise.
