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 accidentally found myself in a similar position with another type of sports car driven unfortunately around here. Texas would have been nice. I am thinking that you do *not* have a real Texas car, but depends I suppose.

Six years later. Six hard years taking the car all of the way apart so that I could lift the biggest pice on my own, it is at a very high #2 condition. Looks like it came off the dealer's floor last week. I could not bear the crushing of something not in production anymore.

If you don't get off on that sort of thing, you will give up part way, cause I like it and I almost did -repeatedly. I wouldn't like to see it go though. It would be nice if someone saved it and at least you now can get many of the panels from resto designs!
