CUDA 911's 914 Thread ! ! ! Options

Hey all,

Today, June 10, 2014, I bought my first 914. It is a 1974 1.8, silver.

My first posts on 914 world were in a thread dedicated to my hunt for a 914. It can be found at the following link:

Many, many people here provided a massive amount of fantastic information. I have studied, read, and (hopefully) learned the very basics of 914s.

Now that I own one, I will have a million more detailed questions, and I hope to keep things documented in this thread.

First, a few photos for you:

The Rennlist guys recommend POR15 to deal with the minor rust in trunk.

Don't ... Tried it several times, never worked as advertised.

For now, clean the area with a wire brush and use naval jelly (or similar product) to convert the rest and seal the surface.
Eventually, you'll probably want to weld in a patch, but for now, that should stop the rust from spreading.

I've used POR with no problems, but you do need to Top Coat.

Eastwood makes a good product.

I know that you can buy POR on Amazon, I'm not sure about Eastwood
