(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) I'm looking for wisdom and pricing...too many toys, some has to go. I think I just want one 914.
I unexpectantly just bought a 300 hp v-8 914, which throws a wrench into my project car. I'm thinking about getting rid of everything except the v-8. Looking for help with prices and suggestions. The V-8 has a straight body, new running gear, but paint sucks and there is no interior.
This is what I have currently:

A restored 74 with a rebuilt 2ltr djet w/stainless etc etc (malga red one)

A 75 that has been completly stripped, the body re-worked, and primed. Pretty much all the parts for the 75 have been cleaned, painted etc and ready to go back on with a pile of seals, new interior, brakes, leather covered ghetty dash, new NOS chrome windshield trim, beautiful early chrome bumpers, european lenses, new carpet etc, etc. You get the idea.

Big Bore motor & sideshifter with stainless exchangers & banana

To be perfectly honest, the v-8 looks like a lot of work cosmetically (you know starting all over), but has good bones...renegade. I'll try to post some pictures later.

Need help with some prices and your thoughts...
I could transplant the V-8 running gear in either my 74 or 75 project and sell everything...or

Sell the 74 as is.., sell the 75 project as is or

Put the v-8 conversion in the 74 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) and sell the 2ltr out of that and sell everything else.

In other words...I don't have a clue at this minute just venting and thinking out loud.
