I purchased two 73 914’s, for 3200 total. Great price, i believe but both cars are beautiful fust buckets. Tons of laborious work ahead. Here’s original photos from about 2 months ago (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Congratulations on your car. I just got my 914 in September. Starting restoration this month. I spent a good amount of time getting my garage ready. Made more space by installing some high shelves, fixed lighting issue. I also wired in two dedicated 20 amp outlets, you will need those or a big compressor and for a good MIG welder. For welders start looking at Craigslist. I was able to find a Lincoln Pro 140 with a stand, full tank of argon mix for half of retail. It was a year old. Shielding gas makes welding a lot cleaner, also less smoke and fumes. No experience with Harbor Freight welders but if you are on a tight budget they are hard to beat. Restoration Design has a plethora of metal panels for your car. The more of them you make yourself, the more you save. Good luck.
