I have a roller shell that I am too deep into to sell so I am debating the build. Instead of losing a couple of $$$ on selling it as is, I am debating adding thousands plus all that time.

It is an Adriatic blue 1970 4. It is rough looking and merely a roller but has no rot that I can find. It has the original hell hole in remarkable condition, but the battery tray and support have been removed which obviously can be replaced. The car will be stripped for bodywork and paint but here is the dilemma.

The original engine is gone but I have a late 2 liter engine and trans.
Do I build it:
A) Back as a four "stockish" car.

B) Do a conversion sleeper

C) Do a GT look alike with flares

Just to put in perspective, I already have; 1 B and 1 C track car, plus a real six being restored (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) ( see Alice he IS an addict ! ) so I need nothing.

My preference is go 4 cyl with updated 2 liter engine and ss trans as that will be the most economical plus it retains the "spirit' of the 914.

As I write this I have decided moron may be more applicable than addict (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)
This should be good (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)
