I picked up this roller last year and my brother picked one up as well. The original intension was a pair of Hayabusa builds, but I'm not so sure anymore, so I'm starting a new thread. The car was more or less complete and cheap. The longs and suspension points were solid, so I figure it was something I could work with.
Late this summer, I finally got back into the car, and the plan now is to take my time and make decisions as I go. Naturally, that means the first thing that needed to be done was to strip the car down to the bare chassis and tackle the rustoration first. This is especially interesting to me because the last time I restored a 914 was 25 years ago and I never got the chance to learn how to do body/suspension work. I'm using it as an opportunity to learn how fabricate and weld. This will be my new thread and I'll be digging up pictures and posting updates with progress as I dig them up. Attached thumbnail(s)

I have found myself pretty much in the same situation with a 1976 model. I have my own thread but I have yet to decide whether this is a car I am going to restore this car or seek a better one. But I have fixed cars with rust before, so I look forward to your thread.
