When you get done it will be worth a third of what you spent on it if yer lucky. I appreciate people building things because they are different, rare, cool, whatever, but they still do not make any sense at all. aren't all 914's worth only a third of what we spend on them?

Here I can get way more for a nice bug than an equal 914. I turn work away all the time.

Fixing up a 914 to sell is a waste of my time.

I have a half dozen big T4 builds in progress, save a 356 they're all bugs.

In the last year or so I've done as many 914 rebuilds, all bare bones el-cheapo rebuilds. I've only had 1 tire-kicker, 914, big T4 guy and he had totally unrealistic time frame so I passed.

Any restored car will not be worth what you spend on it...what's it worth to you.

If you want senseable go buy a civic or neon, but even then you lose a 1/3 when you drive off the lot.
