I'll be back in Canada next Friday and will send you parts to help revive it.

Thanks Blue, but I'm not sure a new body is going to fit in the mail!

$1500+$1000 shipping will get you period metal: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/3080075306.html

Jim: As well, if you need anything call me.

Blue: I will post some photos of my progress in another thread so not to highjack this one.

There is a shell in Edmonton I'm thinking about getting. Theres just so much of is one that is not 147.

Just how much of 147 has to be in the new one so its still 147? the age old question....

I think as long as it is all metal and has the vins and period correct parts then you are good to go.

Put a parts needed list up and lets see what the Z community can send you to revive that early car.

Had a chance to clean out the interior and get some "real" pictures of the beast.

About the only good things I've found is the HCP is not al broken up, and the fuse box isn't melted!

Don't you love the "D" hub caps it came with? "Yeah, and it has 3 of the original hub caps too!"

Anyone silly enough to take this rust bucket on let me know..... When I said it will rise again I meant I'll put more air in the tires...

Think "investment" and you will smile.

Jim, dont you dare do anything to that car until I get to see it on Sunday.. haha

[zKars]

Ok, I give up. Nearly took the hot knife to it this weekend. That sorry, abused, incomplete, mass of sadness and has to go to a better place.

Blue/Ross, 147 is all yours. At least you get first dibs on her.

Anyone else interested, let me know!

I'll just console myself in knowing I saved it from the hands of its past oppressors and gave it at least a chance at glory. Next....

In the Porsche world, we have a less than scrupulous character that calls himself Dr. 914. A few years back, he was selling VIN tag/title combinations on eBay for rusted beyond repair 914-6's of which there were only 3500+/- made. Kind of like the first 5000 Series one cars, they are the most valuable of the 914's. I'd say, get the media blasting done and get out the fire stick. You guys have Zedd Findings in Canada and that is a real plus. 147? that is a restoration I would watch with great interest!
