Brought home for $700.

Needs floorpans, and a general go through to see what else is up.

PO had to move this weekend so he was desparate.

The build starts here.

It's funny how life get's in the way.

Thanks to a bunch of the repair threads that are 30+ pages and my admiration of the skills possessed and those that have progressed I have started my look into my 914.

NOTE: This car dropped into my lap way back when. I am in no rush to finish it, but that does not mean I do not want to work on it. Adulting and Priorities suck.

Southern NH in the winter sucks, especially if you do not:

1. Like the cold. I don't.

2. Don't have winter type toys, mostly due to 1.

3. Have a heated shop. See 1 again.

Today it was almost 50*. We just got about 4" of snow last night so it was a bit slushy walking in and out of the shop.

I started out at the trunk and took the shop vac to it and took a bunch of pics for initial inspection. I worked my way forward through each top side compartment. Then did some of the sides, longs mostly.

There is a lot of not good, but there is a lot of good...I hope.

I don't know if a gentle door slam is a thing, but mine are both beautiful with no top on. Gaps are ok too. Driver door gap is high above the front fender though.

Unfortunately I had to stop because I had no dust masks and could not find my respirator (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) .

Took a bunch of pics, but here are a few:
