I've been wondering about how rusty cowls get repaired and repaired well. Even if I had metal skills, I'm not sure that this car would be the best starting point for the price? If there's rust like that on the cowl, I assume that the rust elsewhere might be quite severe and pervasive.

Usually rust start at the bottom where water collects and works it's way up. The iceberg effect. You only see 10%

Check the samba. Most on there now are outside of your budget and on the west coast. Brad Mayuer 914LTD out of Illinois has some once in a while, customer cars. Most of all be patient. It took me a year to find the right car. Good luck.

Thanks for your tips and encouragement. I've been watching the samba but didn't know that Brad M might be a potential source. As time passes, I'm growing more patient and my budget increases.

Brad is a great source and a truly nice guy.

I just posted my 914 for sale here:

http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...p;#entry2893220

I think it might be exactly what you are looking for. It's a California car (at least since I've had it for nearly 20 years)

It appears that I have a line on one which seems to be a great fit for me, but thanks for reaching out. Yours would be a solid start for so many project options and there is no shortage of project ideas in this community!

Would anyone be within range of checking this out for me? Just after I updated this thread, I found it on Craigslist.

@MM1 & @GBX0073 , thanks--very excited that I could buy one that checks all the boxes for me!

It's the ravenna green car in the pic I posted. I am working on the logistics of getting it home and will post more pics and details when it arrives.
