Accessible only by ATV you say? I know it's not a 914, but thought you guys might like to see one more saved, in this case an early Pre-A.

Wow.
99% of that *car* will be replaced. Keep the Vin and replace everything else. And that's OK with some who don't agree with Vin swapping. What's the difference? |

Wow. 99% of that *car* will be replaced. Keep the Vin and replace everything else. And that's OK with some who don't agree with Vin swapping. What's the difference? Good point regarding VIN swapping, but I think there is way more than 1% of the car that's salvageable. I see front suspension components in one pic. The cowl looks intact, the front trunk floor and left inner fender plus the nose looks viable. Hard to tell from the pics but even the firewall looks intact. No doubt the floor is gone, but it's a vw, right? The floors are always gone. The windshield frame looks solid and the rear window openings look uncompromised. The roof has been oil-canned but doesn't look creased. I'm no expert but don't think it's that bad a starting point for a master restorer. Thousands of hours...yes, but no doubt worth the time and effort. JMHO |
