Hello, I am new to 914World and fairly new to 914s. About 6 months ago I purchased my first 914. It's a 1975 2.0. I wanted to see if anyone can assist me with finding someone or someplace to have it restored. I am hoping to find somewhere in or around northern Colorado. It needs a lot of work but I really, really like the car & I want to have it fully restored or at the very least fixed into a really nice driver (depending on the costs vs budget). Any info you can provide will be extremely helpful!!! Please help me save this car, make it look great & get it back on the road!!! Thank you!

One other thing, include the cars vin number in the data base.
The knowledge on this forum is crazy good!
You will get the information you need soon,

I am close to you in Longmont.

I know of a local shop that specializes in Porsche restorations and race conversions.

Shoot me your email via PM, and I will try to help you out.

Tell us more about the car and what you are looking for: Quick refresh and drive, full concours resto, or sporty daily driver with weekend race capability, etc...

I'll try to get some photos & upload them tomorrow. And the VIN too.
I'm not sure how far I will go with it? It's going to depend on what all the car needs. Costs of repairs vs my budget $$$. I'd like to take it as close to original as I can; at the very least make it a really nice driver? I'm not looking to win any shows with it but I want something that drives well, looks good & that I can be proud to say is part of my family!:). Thanks for the help!!!

Although I have no first hand experience with the metal surgeon his work looks very impressive.
