hey folks,
some years ago i restored a '74 2.0. sweet car. loved it. moved to the mountains (snow) and got rid of it. since then? broke spine, can't walk. this means mostly i can't drive a clutch. but i got the 'itch' again! someone have, or know of, a 914/subaru conversion with an automatic? i called renegade and they suggested this place...maybe someone knows something... anyhow? thought i'd throw that out there. if you know something? heck, let me know. thanks! chris |

Do you have money. Anything can be built for a price. I'm not trying to be smart. There are plenty of people who can build it for the right amount of cash.

yea i get that 'build anything' with money - but it would have to able to be worked on, and it would have to make sense engineering-wise. it would kind of suck to spend a bunch of dough and end up with some frankenstein thing that 'just isn't quite right'...know what i mean?

QUOTE(cpast @ Apr 2 2014, 06:43 PM)  yea i get that 'build anything' with money - but it would have to able to be worked on, and it would have to make sense engineering-wise. it would kind of suck to spend a bunch of dough and end up with some frankenstein thing that 'just isn't quite right'...know what i mean? That's why I mentioned money. Too little and it will be cheap and never done. Enough money to finance and pay the builder properly and you will have a great car. I'm not talking a fortune here but enough so a qualified builder is enthoused about the project. You also need to spend the money for a "needs nothing" kind of car so your not screwing around with rust repair, paint, ect. Ian at coldwater seems to be a can do and do it now kind of guy. I would suggest talking to him about what kind of money it would take to build and provide him a real profit. I would imagine he could build something that looks and works right. |
