well so I have dug around in the longs and the hellhole and my body guy and myself feel to make her perfect its gonna be 12k including all welding and beautiful paint. you can see photos if you check my other posts. she is a very original un-tampered with 73 2.0 so seems a great donor BUT they guy on ebay 'porsche-doctor' ripped me off on her at 7500. SO not sure to go ahead and bite the bullet OR try to sell her to someone who needs a complete, original, excellent driving 73 for a big loss maybe i can get 3500?

Sounds like you're a good shade tree mechanic, if you planned to change the suspension etc etc. It's not hard to be a shade tree welder. Harbor Freight for a couple hundred have the welding tools. Google how to weld and watch a dozen videos, practice and then call Restoration Design for the preformed metal. If you can give up the summer to have a super fun car....go for it.
Give us the right pictures and we'll give you the how to! Look at the restoration threads and see what everyone has done in your case. You can see the repair done before you ever start. Can we see the bad? and Good Luck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thisthreadisworthlesswithoutpics.gif) |
