Hi 914world,
I purchased this '74 914 about a year ago and recently went to a Porsche dealership to ask about some shops to do some body work (need floors and clean up some of the rust throughout) for a restoration project. They had one come over who said it would be near impossible for them to do and there is only 1 guy (in Vegas, I am in the midwest) who could do it, but it would cost $100k... thought they were joking but I guess not. Does anyone have any idea if this is real? / gotten body work done and have an estimate of how much body work should cost and if its possible to weld in new floor pans? |

Wow, thanks for all the help here. Definitely am in way over my head and not sure what to do next. Can’t believe I have been driving this for a year without any idea, probably put 1,000+ miles on it since I bought it

Fixing repairs completed by a prior owner are most often nightmares. Great looking topside btw best of luck |
