So today I was able to go and pick up the car and get it home. It was a little harder than I thought it would be and now I am exhausted. The hoist I used weighed about 250 lbs each and had to be lifted on and off the trailer twice. I went with a friend and were able to get it up and off the trailer with out incident. I when I got the car home I was able to empty out the trunks etc which had alot of VW and 914 parts. From what I found in the trunks ir appears that the car was last on the road in 1986 or when postage was 22 cents. There were even 2 glass 16 oz Pepsi bottles in the front truck. I am exhausted so I'll post pic instead of writing.

The floor boards of both the passenger and drivers side were dented slightly due to the car being picked up by a forklift and set on the trailer I removed it from today. The battery tray and hell hole had a small hole rusted through but I've definately seen worse. I obviously did not pull the rocker panels off but from what I can touch and see the longs are in good shape. I did not want to deal with those slotted screws that hold the rockers on from underneath. The rust on the body was mostly surface rust from dents and dings but for some reason the hood was evenly rusted all around. You can see in the pics that it rusted at a different rate than the rest on the car

My guess is that the hood has been repainted and the rest is factory. Repaint never holds up as well as the original. I have the same problem on my car. The hood was repainted and paint is peeling. Remainder of the body is original and in very good shape for 31 years.

Any ideas yet as to what to do with her yet? Also, sticker on R side does not look right... I suspect more than the hood was repainted. How's the L side look? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif)

I finished a 2 year restoration on my wifes bumblebee last June and am not sure that I am ready to do it again so soon. I brought the car over to the central valley today to my mom's house to store it until I decide. Good thing she has RV parking on the side of her house and no RV.

Amazing what you can do w/ a Genie lift. Hope I don't pester you too much, but as a fellow "sicler" I'm sure you can understand my curiosity/concern. Thanks for putting up w/ me & please keep us informed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif)
