Well, I've been projectless for 5 months and I'm twitching. I'm thinking about a Vespa restoration (way too much $ for these so far (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) ), building a sailboat (that's in keeping with the tradition of jumping into things I know nothing about (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) ), or building another 914 (my personal choice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) ). Hell, I might even take a few years and do it right. So my question is how much are we talking about to create a 914-6 given: #1, a running 4 cyl doner 914 - #2, a running Suby 6 engine. Yes, I understand there are companies that sell conversion parts and/or kits but......... in the real world when it is all said and done, what is the appx. cost? Thx, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)
