Crumple zone, #4 Options

[930cabman]

Don't ask, but project #4 is underway. a decent 1974 model without mountains of rust. More pics to follow, but I discovered this yesterday



and this



So goes it. The floors are very good (appear to be), the longs need some small patches including the jack posts,.......

Good winter project

Yeah - sketchy but it isn’t terrible for an east coast car. Worse have been saved . . . At a cost.

Measure the tub carefully before you invest lots of time or $ into this chassis. I can’t imagine it having been hit that hard and not needing a pull on a frame rig to square it back up.

We have seen much worse (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

I took a couple basic measurements and things look not terrible. As time allows I will open it up more and see what I am dealing with. Wondering if I can remove the creased portion, straighten it out and weld it back in place?

It is nice that I haven’t seen any chicken wire associated with the project. But let’s be fair. Suppose one was young, uninformed, or even older and uninformed yet you got hands on a 914. The outcome is gonna resemble the abilities to work or pay for work or even in some cases to believe that work has been done. I honor the people who bring these cars back from the brink. For now.

Very true, with enough $$$$ we can accomplish just about anything. I have less than $1k in the hulk to date and repairing these is satisfying. not sure of what motor to use, I do have a stroker crank on the shelf (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)
