Posted last week that I was considering buying a local car. It will go into dry storage awaiting restoration. Thought I'd share a couple of pics.
Stuck a battery in it. No starter engagement and no fuel pump whir. Maybe I just need to jump the seatbelt relay. Fingers crossed. It's not home yet, so I haven't really had a chance to wrench on it. Really checked out the floors, and they are absolutely solid in passenger compartment and trunks. The battery tray is crusty and there are a couple of little bubbles in the adjacent side panel. Everything I can see and feel below the battery tray is solid. No rust on the battery tray support. Under the jack points there is an area about 1" long where the seams come together that you can stick a screwdriver through. otherwise solid. It does have this one odd rust area on top of the rear quarter. Likely the result of a poor bondo job. Anyway, I can't wait to get this in out of the elements. My first 914. I don't think I did too badly for $1500. Oh, and bonus, it has Konis and a Bursch street exhaust with a cat delete. |

...........where is that "foam" in the rear that can be torn out to check for water/rust? See that large rust spot on his back fender? The foam is right behind that in the cavity above the tail light. Remove the rear wheel, get a good flash light and have a close look at the foam and sealer. If the sealer looks cracked, it's a good idea to remove all the foam and sealer and clean out the rust. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
