 In need of some advice on repairing rust on my 1976 Porsche 914 2.0. Just found out it has a huge area that is rusted under the rocker panel molding. Is this something that can be fixed? See attached. The engine runs great, just put on new brakes, new exhaust, etc.. Any help would be appreciated. |

I would seriously consider taking that car off the road before anything else. Eventually you'll need to pull out the carpet and seats so we can see how bad it truly is on the inside. From first impressions though, that looks like it would be easier for you to find a decent tub rather than trying to repair it. Do a search for "hell hole" here and you'll find plenty of threads to show you just how much work is involved. Maybe someone else who is in your area will chime in and come take a look at the car for you. Again, first impressions are that it's badddd. |
