You probably could have actually gotten a 911 with all the money and effort you put into these...

They are unique and I’ve never seen a 914 done up like that before.
The quality seems nice from the pictures and I like the simple interior in the Robin egg color 914.

It’s not completely my cup of tea, but unique and done way better than most non traditional 914,s

Both these 914s were rusted and collision damaged throwaways. My total outlay for the yellow car was less than $10,000, the aqua car even less. I did all the work myself in my shop, including months of rust repair and chassis reinforcement. All the fiberglass bodywork is my original design and creation, as well as engine, paint and interior work. Probably thousands of hours between the two cars. Best time I have spent. It's about the process as much as the product. I'm finishing up the 2.0 T4 engine for the aqua car. I've been driving Yeller since 2011, Hope to get Alice
(aqua) on the road this summer. I appreciate the polite critiques. BTW I have a relatively unadulterated 74 2.0 I've owned since 1981.

When we do restorations to our Porsches it saves thousands of dollars on therapy bills, saves us time sitting in their offices too.

Of the 5 914’s I’ve owned one was a very nice slant nose with flared fenders. The looks I get from millenials, Priceless! They have no idea what it is.
