Rust really can occur anywhere on the 914 however seeing that you are in the southwest that should minimize the amount you'll have to deal with (in theory). Most likely places are on the right side under the battery tray in the engine compartment & the structural longitudinal also on the right side. Since the car has a removable roof, these longitudinals a crucial to the structural rigidity of the chassis. Again, rust can happen anywhere on a teener & 1 thing I know about the southwest is rubber rot happens frequently there due to the arid climate so you have to be patient & really do your homework. Rotten seals means water can get in just about anywhere. |
