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..............
