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) |

Alright........I just found a roller right down the street from me. The guy wants 175 bucks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ,but it has the big ol rubber bumpers.Can you put the all steel bumpers from a 72 on a 74? It has no moter but does come with a side shift trany and has black interior thats in pretty good shape........
It doesn't seem like it has much rust in the battery tray area, but I looked on the other side and there was rust on the corner shelf area. Im heading out the door to go take some pics,i'll have them posted in an hour or so.............. |
