So I have 72 914 worth a 1.7 in it and I’m having a big problem. What I thought would be a new wheel bearings or hub is turning into some serious work. I thought this car was rust free but apparently there is some hidden cancer. Please let me know any thoughts of how to fix this.

I know George's response was to want to sell you repair pieces. Be honest, what is your welding and fabricating experience? Don't buy parts yet. Or how much budget do you have for your project to pay someone else to do the work? No mistake, it's thousands.
Ouch, I hope you got that car at a serious bargain and are willing to spend way more in repair work. Sadly that car is one of the problems these days, looks nice from the outside, but is rotten at the core. It's a total unless you really want to get in deep. If you want a serious new stage of metal fabrication, it can be done at great expense. And I would admire that big time. But just make sure you aren't over your head or it will just keep costing more. And more. Dang it I hate sharing bad news. But this was an uneducated purchase. Ask first before paying. |
