So my 914 was having trouble starting. I narrowed it down to a wiring problem. I decided to take apart the interior to track down any issues. Anyway after doing that I discovered rust and a lot of it. I knew my 914 had rust but not this much. I pretty much need a new floor pan. I'm also sure there's more rust elsewhere too...
Honestly I don't know what route to take. Sell it and wait for a nice 914 to come up later in life? Sell it and get something different for the same money? Keep it and fix it the best I can and drive it till I can afford to do it property? Or go balls deep and dive head first into a full restoration. What do you guys think?

Cutting out a floorpan and welding in new steel is fairly major surgery, but it's doable. Selling it in its current condition wouldn't net you very much. Depends on what value you hold for the car, but that would be the route I'd recommend. You get more years out of it and when you do go to sell, it's rust free.
