do not have a welder, hoping to braze in patches, will not know exactly what i have till i can get a good look at.
has anyone ever used 2 engine stands? any idea how much a 914 would weight stripped down?

Mine is actually built off of two engine stands form harbor freight (the $30 ones), and many of the home built ones are based off a pair of engine stands.
If you are good at brazing, you can do it, but you would really be better of getting a welder. If you are thinking that your car is going to need a rotesserie, buy a mig welder. It is money very well spent.
The PO somewhere down the line with my car brazed in several repairs. When I had to take them out, I was was cursing like a sailor (and being a sailor, I can curse pretty well). Easier to grind out a bad weld then a bad braze.
