Welcome to my life, bought a '73 2.0 and the desire to go bare metal and restore took over so that's now underway.

IMHO at a price of $7,500 , I think you'd be hard pressed to find a more suitable restoration candidate than this matching numbers '73 2.0 for anyone that is willing to do the work and hold onto it. With production numbers of only 4,817 2.0s in '73. This is sure to be a rare and valuable little car upon completion of a full resto.

GLWTS!

Relatively new to 914. Can someone explain what would be required to restore this car to a good condition? I would have to bring this car to a shop to do the work so I'm trying to understand if it would make sense from a cost perspective.

Restorations can go for a couple thousand to tens of thousands. Just depends on how far you want to go. This car looks like a very nice driver for the price.

Having just completed a 914 refresh, I agree with Mark. It depends on how you define “a good condition”. If you leave it red and can live with “patina’d” paint, it wouldn’t take that much. If you want to paint it - either restore to original color, some other color, or even fresh red - figure anywhere from $5-10k as a starting point if you did some of the prep yourself and paid for the paint and welding. Add a few more thousands if you need the shop to do it all.

I realized I could've worded my question better. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I'm familiar with the costs of a paint job, but I'm not sure what this car requires to fix the rust. Is it just a new panel in the rear trunk?

The panel is inexpensive, but the labor is very expensive. The Restoration Designs people say 3-4 hours (actually 5 hours) . Your have to cut out half of the panel, and then drill and set tap screws after aligning it the new panel with weldable primer into place, then set the rosette welds. The trick is the rear sway bar mounts as some cars, like this one, have a rear sway bar. Some have cut around those, but normally you would need to re-weld those into the new panel. Otherwise the panel is not so structural. After being welded in and the welds smoothed, primer, and then paint. Out here in Norcal labor like that is between $60 and $120 per hour, or even more if you get one of the top two (we know who they are!) There is a online video on the repair.

On this car, there is a small repair weld needed to the rear of the passenger door. It appears to be less than two hours work.

The rust on the front fender top is rust bubbling through the paint, where prep was not done properly in the late 80s. This could be ground down and treated with Por15, primer, paint.

There are about four other tiny bubble spots smaller than a dime.

Normally there would be floor panel section replacement on these cars, but this one has only surface rust. I have normally seen the sills, rockers, jack points, door bottoms rusted at corners but cannot find that condition on this car. There was some hell hole repair in the past. There does not appear to be bondo repair or other indication of accidents. The rear trunk lid does not show yellow, so either it was removed and stripped to yellow, or a different trunk lid was painted for assembly. The gaps around the car look good, and can be seen in the photos.

So 4-6 hours welding plus 1-3 hours welding, is what I am guessing.
