Hello and welcome,
If you are going to look at the car do as was mentioned. Take lots of pictures. Then post them here. Areas of consern are under the battery near the lower part of body. This is called the "Hell hole" because of the design of the body it rusts very easy there. Also the "Longs", the frame support area under the rocker covers along the side of the car. Look under the carpet near the area behind the seats for rust and in the rear trunk near the taillight lenses. Take a large friend with you to do the big butt test for sag in the body. Both of you get in the car and shut the doors. If they shut smoothly without jamming it passes. Check the jack points under the car. Take a small screwdriver with you to poke under the longs. Call your local Porsche dealer or import shop and ask them how much for them to compleat putting the motor together. 914's are rare in Canada. They weren't imported here till 1972 and because of the salt used on our streets they rust very easy. |
