Finally got my first 914. Its a '71 and was originally Irish Green. Since its been painted at least once (found traces of Gemini Blue on the trunk) i will go with Adriatic Blue or maybe even Oxford (dalmation) blue from a 911 color. Any ways, I need opinions about my rear end. Please look at pics and tell me what can be done.
First, here is my $400 puchase. Had engine fire, minimal damage but not running. Attached image(s)

Although, i havent torn her apart yet to see the full extent of rust (i plan on stripping down the trunk/hood/engine bay/interior to coat with rust bullet and quiet car), it really doesnt have a significant amount of rust that i can see. I have thought about parting and finding a different one, but, this is a project that might be very fun and rewarding. The large and worn tires are only there for purpose of getting into the garage before teardown and not originally on the car (as noticed by the 2L fuchs). I am sure the springs need replacing (will eventually go 140# since i want a 2.2-2.7 /6). I was just curious if anyone has had this issue (im sure im not the first) and if it was a twisted frame or a rear end adjustment issue. Keep the ideas, thoughts, and opinions comming (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif)
