Hi folks, first time on this forum so be gentle if I ask especially dimwitted questions. Grin.

If I had the missing front section from another car that was straight, how nasty of a job is it to put that on and make this one whole again?

The rest of the car is really straight so it's worth some effort, just not sure where this fits in the spectrum of things you don't really want to have do to your 914...

Thanks!

Good morning, hope everybody’s having a good week so far.

Kent and I have not connected yet, but I was wondering if I could get a rough ballpark on what replacing a clip would run? $2000? 4000 horse? $6000?

Not trying to get a specific number, because that’s impossible as it will vary by car and condition and who does the work etc., just round numbers that would give me some sense of ballpark would be a big help however.

Thanks!
