Let's save another 914, and get it decent., Probably need advice from you old school 914 folk Options

So here is the rust on this one. It's a 75 cali car it's entire life.

Get the worst over to begin. Let us take a look at the hell hole. It was solid, and even passed teh screwdriver/hammer test....

*until* it soaked in metal ready a while... then the screwdriver test started picking out giant holes which you see here. It is still soaking, and has been on/off for days not to eat away more to see what metal is truly left. Next step is a grinder or non-hand tool of sorts to break deep into the pitting and see what truly is through.

The front trunk looks like it was curbed at some point.


The front control arm locating bolts that are side to side are not disturbed it appears.

The third front bolt on the passenger side however is tweaked and that cover which goes over the bushing and pivot is tweaked kind of.

It looks as if a giant piece of wood and a sledge would talk it back down to being flush like the drivers side. The cover of the control arm bushing was disturbed, but it looks like it can be beaten back down with wood and a sledge hammer.

It looks like this narrowly avoided fucking up the orientation of the front mounting point for the control arm.

Pics for reference.
