    I would say about mid 1900 without the cage. My 71 weight 1754 with a header no vent system and fiberglass bumpers. I would add about 50# for the bumpers and 10 for the vents. My car also had the early doors without the crash beams in them which is a lot lighter. You will want and early 73 car. The Porsche tech specs box says 2139# but it does not say for what year. I would say that is for a 1974.

    Ok, so I have been down this road before. I have once again left sanity at the door..... I found and purchased a donor 73 2.0 914, paid in full, before i could reconsider. With little rust at all I can actually start the process of building the next ITB "must have" car.

    Man I hope I don't regret this in the morning

    You know 924's have less rust and are more plentiful, easier to build...

    I think that's cool as hell, Fred. And I don't care if you DO respect yourself in the morning. We just like that you put out.
