Do a full budget estimate and we can help with that. Start with safety and mechanical, then performance, then aesthetics. Keep up the good work!

about the 3k bodywork i know its execessive i might not even 2k on the body but i rather have a large budget and be safe than later having my car falling to pieces as i drive it.
also buying another tub is out of the question since i live in mexico
lets says if i bought a rust free shell to get it on my country i will have to pay fees do a ton of paperwork wich would equal to atleast 2-4k depending on wheter i want the car to be able to circulate or just "Import it as junk"

also im not blowing all the budget on the body (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) if i did that it would be pretty stupid to have an awesome body but a damn rusty lawnmower in the engine.

I was thinking $3k is just a fraction needed to do the body.

Are you taking the car to Mexico for work? I bet it's much less expensive there.

As Mark said, he and I (and others) have been down that road.

I agree. I've heard of a few places in Tijuana that have a great reputation. A lot of guys from San Diego take their cars over the border for paint and interior work.

Yikes!
This cowl is kaput,a glass out repair/replacement.
The fender too must be removed for access to the inner fender and firewall.
The inner fender too is a goner,no doubt.
The footwells under the carpet,the inner fender above the hinges.
The front longs and other standard rust holes of the 914.
1000 pix detailing every ex-puddle,a number designating each in time,materials and labour.
The rear fender corner has disappeared,the 'waterfoam' the culprit.
All this does not bode well for the hole of hell and the lower firewall.
At this point,an expert assessment and careful calculation should determine if this is a donor chassis.
A 3k estimate is low,from what I've seen in the 3 pix,the longs in unknown,but surmised, condition.
I like the color tho,looks 'winegrape'.
