Hey man.. dont promote that crap. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) Not even in jest. Its bad enough everyone thinks they own a 2.0 914.

I'm trying to clean up the 914 image and swapping VINS and "telling" people to do it isnt cool.

Cut the VIN tag off, and you'll have the coolest keychain!

I tried to buy a rusted out 914/6 chassis on evilBay, just for that purpose. All I wanted were the VIN tags for use as car art, or car awards. I got outbid at 50 bucks, and I thought I was paying WAY too much.

WOW! That one is really gone! Too bad. Looks like you need the usual:

1. Top Part
2. Sides
3. Bottom Part

If there's nothing left of it... what can you do? Is there any structure at all to the body? Anywhere the rust didn't get to? How are the door sills? Center tunnel?

LE VIN's were not at all random. Granted they span a larger range than the 1000 cars would require, but there are very few cars in North America that fall winin the range and are not LE's. That means that most of the other cars in the range were ROW cars for other markets. Besides, this car has all the hallmarks of a LE. (Disclaimer: that is what my 20 years of research on this topic has shown me at least.)

The car is shot. I have two 4 x 4 timers on jackstands just before teh front tires and just after
the rear. This is the ONLY place that there is any sort of structure.

You are 'Listed' on the Registry Garold...check it out, just finished the changes a couple of hours ago.

If the car dies, let us know and I will indicate it as 'deceased'.

At some point these cars are terminal...only you can determine that.

I will say...your car wins the record for least expensive LE...at $12.50...no other LE has been acquired for less!!! But maybe then its not all there.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
