But truly thankful for all the very useful info! Best, Carson Carson, Are you planning to attend Rennsport in September ? Jim, Yes! I will. And i was planning to take the 6 but now this happened....

And i was planning to take the 6 but now this happened.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Brings back memories of 1995. Spent months getting my 914 ready for Parade in Portland, only to be rear-ended by a Camry the ONE night I decided to take it on a dry run down to San Jose—two weeks before Parade. Rear bumper was bent, as was the panel between the lights. One taillight dead, but the trunk and quarters were okay. Sent my bumper and another one I had in to Stockton bumper, who said they could have it back to me in time. They called and didn't like either of mine, so they used one of theirs they had lying around. Turned out to be a 1970 bumper. So you should have time to get it fixed—but if they can't do it, drive it to Rennsport and then get it fixed. It's pretty minor, and I'd sure rather see the car than not see it. Looks purty...

QUOTE(dr914@autoatlanta.com @ Jul 31 2018, 10:31 AM) probably 400 to repair and rechrome For some reason I thought it was way more than that. Matt and I met a shop owner at the Forest Grove Concours. I'll have to drop in and get some pricing. There are quite a few 914's in PDX that need some bumper love. Starting to flake in places. |

Sorry to see that but you really dodged a bullet with only that damage. I agree that once the bumper comes off you need to carefully and fully inspect the body for any damage, cracks, etc. Again, glad that was not a harder hit.
As much as that dent bothers you, I would wait until after Rennsport and then get it repaired so you do not have a time-crunch stress to deal with. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
