I like the end results of the blue car so much that I've been thinking of my next one.
Sooo, I'm going to post a picture of the sad creature now.

I must be HIGH.

I AM EMBERASSED. I paid way to much for the numbers, I paid what the asking price was. I prolly could build that car out of parts ( except motor and trany) that were here. Sooo, now I'll spend $20,000.00 on this rusty platform.

It's still worth it, didn't mean to put you on the spot on price, I just think that would be a tough one to price, I wouldn't know where to go with it (pricing) Where did you find ? what kind of history does it have? are you gonna keep it stock? I'd love to find something like that

No prob Lou. I paid 6k but after I had the car I figured it was worth 3 or 4.
I bought it with some money my mom had left me
Thanks mom.

I'm sure you can make that up with doing some of the work yourself, aprts you can buy here, etc. I still think it will be worth it

Lou: I do all the work, I have the engin and trany. But I was thinking about taking it to Los Ponchos for the body work and interior. It sitting in my backyard rusting is not a good deal.

That doesn't look too bad. Wish I was doing the work. Looks like fun.
A fender and a rear clip and you're in business. Not too over the top.

It can be fixed. Los Ponchos is that the body shop in Mexico that did the work on "The Blond"? If it is, I'm sure it will look great, great prices too, looks like Dr. Evil (He hangs out here too) does good interior work too.

well, at least you don't have to worry about cutting stock fenders to put GT flares on!

Do it DUDE. Bring that baby back to life. With what you've got it will be fun to watch it come together. Post progress pics!

Good luck on your project! Save that 6er! Your estimate of 20K is probably close to what I'll have in my 914-6 by the time I'm done.
Where are you located in CA? I have some contacts that might be useful to you in your restoration.
Good luck and have fun!
