Thanks Everyone!

wow gentlemen... after a LONGGGGG time without posting to this thread, it saddens me (in a way) to say that this girl is now for sale as it sits.

Current State:
It is currently in the queue at Renown Auto, auto restoration place about a mile from my house. It is awaiting floor pan and other various rust repair issues.

The engine is out and in a few pieces in my dad's workshop and my bedroom is filled with aftermarket and replacement items still in their packaging (cold air intake, bushings galore, stainless fuel lines, brand new fuel line kit (the pricey one) and other various stuff.

The reason I said I was "kind of sad" was because I have an almost running Ravenna Green 914 which is what I will focus my attention on and keep. The folks nag me daily (sometimes every hour!!!! no kidding) to "do something with the green car"... so.. the time has come.

I am wanting to sell the red car as it stands and this will help fund the engine work needed on the green one. I may also be willing to trade the whole red car (and all the parts etc) for engine work services.

I am willing to take a loss on the red one and chalk it up to a lesson learned.

It has a 2.0 motor that was pulled running. I had stripped the tin from the motor and it has been powder coated jet black and is still wrapped in the bubble wrap I got it back in. The gas tank is out of the car as well. You can think of it as a shell, with the dash, steering wheel, front and rear lights, and suspension still in place. Everything else is stripped on it.

It has the nice fat 5-lug Fuchs on it which are probably worth what I'll be offered for the whole package lol...

Please, if anyone is interested in taking this "burden" off my hands, PM me. I'm willing to make a great deal to someone to help keep this in an enthusiast's hands.

Thanks!
