I'm still surprised this car hasn't sold. Wish I had the cash for it, those paint matching mahle wheels look great. This car will only get better after the repairs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Is there something in the water? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) There seems to be some kind of attack on 914's lately. Watch out for the other guy fellas! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)


No lie about something in the water. Mine's in the body shop after the left front quarter got scraped at the shop doing some service work. While it was there I asked that they fix a few other rust issues and blemishes and the estimate came back at a sweet $500 with the entire right side respray. If you live in the Seattle area I would highly recommend Queen City Auto Rebuld.

Sorry no line on a bumper for ya, but you may want to post one in under the WTB classifieds if you haven't already. Good luck.

OK, got most everything worked out but just had a setback on the bumper. We are in need of a VVVVVVery good early, STRAIGHT, no hole front chrome bumper or a reasonably priced STRAIGHT early chrome bumper that can be re-chromed. If you have one you can send pics to hwgunner at msn dot com. Thanks

Hey Mark,

Check this build thread. I repaired Sandy's car that was worse than that one. I saved the fender. Notice the photo of the ratchet strap going over the top of the right fender pulling back up right. It was layed over sticking out like yours and the end ahead of the park light was peeled open like a sardine can. Show your repair guy the link and he should be able to figure out what I did. Sandys was crushed on both sides and I saved both fenders.

Mine got tagged two years ago by a idiot woman talking on a cellphone and backing up during the holidays. The SUV just smashed the turn signal metal but it still cost $2500 to straighten it out without using bondo.

Yours looks a lot worse but should be able to pull it all out if they try.

The body shop is saying they're going to have to cut out the bent & weld in new. I'm going to go up there today & look at it.

Unfortunately, after looking at the damage, I think this is now a parts car. This really sucks.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Thats really sad news.

These cars really cannot take too much of a hit without bending in all of the wrong places. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

After further conversation, they're saying they can pull it out & make it like it never happened. We'll have to see. I'm cautiously optimistic. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Update:

The body & paint came out very nice. Unfortunately, they burned up the Pertronix when they were trying to get the turn signals wired up again. Since they are body guys, and not mechanics, and since the $$ was coming out of their own pocket, it took awhile before they got on it. They had a mech friend look at it last week, and his verdict was they burned up the dizzy. I think he meant they fried the Pertronix again. The body shop owner was going to double-check on that & get back to me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

On the bad side, Steve (sww914) has disappeared. Won't return phone messages, nor emails for the last couple of weeks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) It looks like I'm going to be stuck with the remainder of the bill. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) Very unfortunately, this really bothers me. My faith in my fellow man has taken a serious downturn. I'm hoping the body shop will let me make payments, so I can get the car back & put it back up for sale.

The saga continues......

Amen to not letting anyone drive your teener. My 28 year old twins have never driven my teener and my wife doesn't drive it either! I am selfish!

The body shop still owes me for the pertronix too.
