 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. |

Damn, that is some serious rust. The inner suspension console ear an that side is probably bad, also.
Is that the floor in the last pic? -It looks like it has fallen down some 6 inches. Do the doors close on that car? Looks ready to break in half from here. I wouldn't drive it like that. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I'd say it's time to start looking for a solid tub to swap parts onto. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png) |

I would only tackle that if you have the skills and tenacity to take it on. Good luck whatever you decide! |

It looks like I am going to have to sell her if anyone is interested. I don't have the ability to do this type of work.  |

From the sign in the background, it looks like the dealer does care about their reputation. Did they make you aware the car had some serious issues? Yep, it looks 'OK' from the outside...! I would be mightily unhappy with them if they're not willing to help you out.. |
