I got a request for parts from this individual in Malaysia who wrecked his 914. I fear that the damage is worse then he thinks and may be difficult if not economically practical to fix the car.
It looks to me the the drivers long is crushed and I would not be surprised if the whole car is bent.
Your opinions please.

Sell him a shell, it will be alot easier to swap parts.

Who are we to judge if it's worth it for him to fix. His car, His money......wait for the check to clear first. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

Chop up a 914 in quarters and send him the shell in 4 pieces. Then it will be bulk steel and not an imported car.

I saw pics of the accident. he was going pretty fast when he wrecked. I'm more suprized he's alive.

Big motor, no roll bar.
