Okay, folks, could use some help here. I'm taking a look at this car on Thursday. It looks pretty good in the photos, but being new to 914s, I'd love it if the folks here could let me know if you see anything I should be worried about.
I've posted an entire set of photos to Flickr here: http://flickr.com/photos/jeffreysmith/sets...57604097717696/ (IMG:http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2060/2328288390_34f9401e67.jpg) |

IMHO, there are three things to watch out for; rust, rust and rust. Everything else is fixed much easier. If you can get the owner to pull the rocker panels, look especially in ther area around the jack holes. Water just loves to get in there and muck about. What initially looks to be a tiny hole can hide an amazine amount of rust.
When I got my first teener about a year ago I looked primarily at the underbody, suspension and engine. If the fundamentals are good, every thing else is a (figuratively) piece of cake. Good luck, blue skies and green lights! |
