I would consider that beyond repair. It will take way more $$$ in metal work than it is worth.

Maybe AA can use it for a VIN swap... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Probably end up on a boat to Germany...They seem to like the cheap rusty ones...

Might be fun to just get it running like a top and roll it all rusty like the VW guys do with the old buses and bugs.

As long as it doesn't break in half !

I think mentioning the famous 914 word so much is just a disclaimer that it will break In half! Move it at your own risk

This is not the first time i said this (and was proven right several years later), so here it is again:

We *will* see this car again! (to be precise, a nice car with the same VIN)

If you replace every piece of rusty metal but the VIN survives, is it considered a VIN swap? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

If you cut all the metal around the VIN, but leave the VIN in place and then add good metal from a donor car all around the VIN, is it considered a VIN swap?

Several years ago while on a tour to the Porsche Factory, in the Classical Restoration Section they had a 914-6 that needed the complete rear half of the car replaced. They did it and a year later while on another Tour of Germany I met the guy that owned her at a hotel I was staying at. Porsche will fix any Porsche, just takes money and time.

Later, Don

If I had the extra $$ I would make him an offer and bring it home. They are only going to go up in value. Look at what rusty POS 356 tubs bring.

There is a good reason why the VIN numbers are set in a piece of aluminum.

914 vins are stamped in the metal.

Which reminds me, don't waste your money on the gas springs, mine have already given up and I never drove the car. The trunks have been setting closed. I don't think they held the trunks up 30 minutes in their life span.
