Way to many good rolling chassis in California to consider this kind of work. Case in point, This one is 1k.. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=307807 Good morning, thanks for the response. Good advice for sure, but the car I am looking at is otherwise complete and runs. Balancing that against, for example, that purple shell with flares that are not to my personal taste. If a rough ballpark for replacing the front clip is lower than bring that purple shell to same running condition that impacts my thinking. Make sense? They are all ultimately expensive. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) Thanks! Is this the white 914 that has been floating around online for sale for awhile? I think I know that car as well if it is the one in San Gabriel! Depending on where you look it is currently listed at $6,500 and $4,500 simultaneously. If so that car has been for sale since April at least if not longer.

I wouldn’t pay more than $1-2k for a car that needed a front clip.

Two points
1. If this is not a six or LE ------RUN ! It is not worth the agony....It will be expensive and there will be more damage as already stated. . 2. Chassis needs to be measured to determine if it has been tweaked ( as someone so aptly suggested) . That requires real skill and technical information As a friend once said " this car for free would be expensive" Good luck |
