Found rust in my Porsche 914 not sure which route to take....
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?

I'd only restore it if you plan on keeping it for a significant amount of time, 5 years or so, maybe more. It may be best to sell as is, and let someone who has more funds, skills, time, etc to finish it the way that it needs to be. Then, you can set aside the money and wait until you can buy a car (another Porsche if that's what you're into) that doesn't have as much issues. Maybe something that needs just a small bit of work to complete it. I.E. a car that has a good straight body, good floors, frame, etc..but needs a little bit of engine work to get it going. Or something that has some small, easily repairable dings and or/ a body that needs just a respray, and bam! You'd have a good drivers quality Porsche. One part of me says you should keep it, and not give up. The other, says to sell it and get something like a 912 while they're still cheap.
