Well I think I decided I'm going to take the car. I know that if it's a rusty POS that I can't fix, I can always part it out, and yes it still has original Fuchs, so I will definitely make some cash off of it. And I can throw that cash towards the '44...
On the other hand, I really enjoy wrenching on cars, and this would be a great learning experience...I'm not too concerned about the time it would take to make it roadworthy, mostly because it would just be a "fun" (tongue firmly in cheek, as I'm sure parts of it would be quite frustrating) project, and I wouldn't care if it took me 3 years to get it roadworthy. I figure, hell, at least I can get this thing, get to know a 914, and at the least, know exactly what to look for when I decide to actually buy one. In the meantime, I have a car I can mess around with and work on when I can, and to me, there's not much I enjoy more than working on a Porsche...
Plus, if I was able to restore it, it would give me much satisfaction to know that I put this old neglected Porsche back in working order.
Thanks for the advice everyone, and I may be getting in over my head here, but I figure, I can at least part it out if I don't want to restore it...
