I'm sure it could be done, but not cost effectively.

Just kidding.....

Last night, I could flex the body at the targa bar by more than 2 inches with just a little bit of pressure. I have never personally seen a 914 this bad.

Always been a parts car. I only bought it because it had a really nice Saratoga top on it years ago and buying the whole car was the only way the guy would sell it. A pretty nice $350 score!!
