Some of it is interesting, but look closely and there is a lot of WTF going on there.
The gauges look really hard to read Lot of unnecessary original 914 sheetmetal left. The aluminum front undertray won't survive one off road incident That front perimeter tubing is about scary as hell. It might not break off in an impact. Stock lower control arms and rubber or poly bushings? Way to cheap out Stock four banger front sway bar The Cell on the passenger side is a nice move. I like the wide five parts. Too Much money for too little "good car". |

Where do you think the car should be priced Brett W?

Too Much money for too little "good car". Maybe $8K or less. The body work is fairly expensive, but overall, when you dig into the whole package there isn't a whole lot of REALLY nice parts. The rear shocks are garbage QA1, the front struts are unknowns, the Hoosiers are of unknown dates, The front suspension is stock 914 parts with rubber bushings, small sway bar, etc. The rear is probably similar suspension. I suspect the fuel cell needs replacing as its long out of date if it came from the 90s. Its a novelty, that really fits no where in club racing without a Porsche motor and the class it ends up in, the car would be hopelessly out matched. The suspension geometry wasn't corrected when there was the opportunity, the ergonomics of the driver's compartment looks all wrong, the roll cage design is questionable at best. Lots of unsupported nodes and generally poor design. As I am guessing this is your car for sale, this will sound like I am pissing all over your pride and joy, but just stating observations based on the pictures. |
