OK, now you guys are scaring me!
"73 California car stored the last 19 years indoors, but lived outdoors (in So Cal) before that. Knew it had a "little" typical 914 rust. Battery tray and support, right jack hole, a bit of the inner rocker (assumed the left but never used it, so don't know) also, and the two corners on the back that have the factory jack points were getting weak, and it has a little bubbling top rear of the front fenders and touch below the windshield. When I went to swap the engine I noticed you can see the ground under the battery ()not wide open, but a definite hole. Figured that was just eh shelf, but I guess that is the "Hell hole" So, what am I in for? Min/Max? |

Min/Max? Are you talking time, effort or cost? I honestly don't know what to tell you but I guess my cars progress should reveal some clues ?? |

Min/Max? Are you talking time, effort or cost? I honestly don't know what to tell you but I guess my cars progress should reveal some clues ?? Since I don't weld (not well) and I don't have space to keep the cart where I can work on it for more than about a week at a time, these days it is more $$ than time. I figured I would find an experienced shop and have them weld in new pieces as needed. Not looking for a concours restoration, but also not looking for a patch job that will fail in 5 to 10 years. Anyone want to take some guesses from experience? |
