About a year ago I seen a 914 sitting on the corner for sale and it was like love at first sight.So I ran to the bank as fast as i could, pulled out 2000 smackers,and bought the car before anybody else could buy it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)
Well a few months later I found this website called 914world.com,an noticed lots of people talking about rust in the battery tray area, so I went outside and took a look at my own car....Holy F*&%in shit my car was rusted all the way through to the suspension (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) .........It looks like the right trailing arm mount busted at sometime or another, because the PO (IMG:style_emoticons/default/finger.gif) welded some 1/4 in steel to hold it together.... I started to look a little farther and found rust everywhere,the longs,under pass seat,everywhere.........I guess my question is would this be worth fixing myself or would it be cheaper to buy a rust free tub? Here are some pics.............. Attached image(s)

To quote a cliche,Been There,Done That.
I bought my car,knowing full well it was a horror story when it came to rust. I only fixed mine,cause it was an original 6cyl. car. Had it been a 4cyl.like the other 97% of 914s,I'd a kept on walking. Repairing all that rust on my car,mind you i'm doing ALL work myself.Cutting,fitting,welding,grinding etc.It took a solid year.I spent about $1000.00 with Restoration Design buying every piece of resto sheetmetal they had.I also spent $1200.00 on 2 914s that I cut up to use for the sheetmetal that isn't repo'd. Do the math,it's not worth the money,time,or effort to spend it on a 4cyl.914. On a 914/6,yes it's worth it,cause you have some rarity.But still only so far. For your money,there are still Lots of 914s out there that can be had for a reasonable price that won't need all that Rustoration. Ron Attached image(s)
