I've got an opportunity to acquire a 1975 1.8L that's been sitting for ~15 years. Before I do anything drastic to it I'm wondering is it worth keeping stock or not? The value for a daily driver is around 8k from what I've researched. For me that's not very much to warrant keeping it stock if I plan to keep it since I'll need to drop quite a bit of money to get it back up and running.

Anyone have any thoughts on a good route to take with this car? I've liked 914 since I was a kid and look forward to a project car but I also don't want to hack up a car that deserves to be kept original.

The 1.8 has the lowest horsepower. I made the decision to Suberize after posing the same question to the group. My journey has taken almost 2 years and $9k. But, I have a feeling that when I am done, it will be well worth it.
