I agree with the salt.

It appears that the car was zbarted in the early 70's after it started to rust.

I'm convinced most of the floor pan rust was becuase the PO had the wrong size tires on, causing the undercoating to be rubbed off of the inner fenderwell.

Then being hidden by the foam block. The rust did its thing.

Some off the local 914 guys have known of this car for years.

One suggested that most of the problem was because the car sat in a unheated garage on concrete for years.

Needless to say, it's a complete Rust-or-ation.

I bought a tub from la la land to redo my 916/6
It got hit hard in the front. It was just better to start with a better tub

I'm not a fan of swapping VIN's.. can you tell ?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Retubbing a car is ONLY OK if you tell people you did that.

But if I re tub it. It would not be original.

The major problem is in the front floor pan area to under the gas tank.

The sail panel on the pass side won't be that bad. Or at least much less of a nightmare than the front part.

Both trunks are in great shape!

The other option is to drop the 6 into my '71 4cyl and ignore the 6 carcass for a couple of years. The 71 already has the stiffening kit, M struts etc etc etc....

I've repaired all of those areas with new sheetmetal before (except for an entire floor), but a donor car would make it go quicker.
Definitely worth saving IMO.

Mike Galloway (Mike's 914's) may have some donor sheet metal or could do a top-notch job of the welding over the winter, and would charge you Canadian funds. Get a primed tub back in the spring! He's near Toronto 905-922-8987.

Um ..I guess the questions are: what is more importent, that it is "Original" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) ,
or that your wallet has not been pillaged and you can DRIVE your teener (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

I second that...
For someone in the northeast, who may want work done, Mike is a great guy.

With the Canadian dollar you will be paying around .60 cents on the US dollar.
But he would make a deal on the total (or part) job that you want done.

He hasn't updated his web page in ages but here it is.

Thanks for the input.

I'll have to check with Mike as Toronto is only a couple of hours from here (once you get thru the border).

As far as driving, I already have a teener and an eleven, so I'm not without the Porsche Driving Experience.

Love indian summer, Drove the 911 to work today.

I have some of the donor parts already. It's just the middle section that surprised me.

I noticed something different last night.

My 914-6 has two rubber grommets for the fuel lines to go thru. While my '71 4cyl has a rubber block.

Anyone know when the factory changed to the other style?

My parts catalog doesn't even list the two grommet style. The single grommet is listed for all models.

My /6 has two grommets, too. The only reason I noticed it is because I changed out the fuel lines. Never thought about it before you mentioned it.

Mine is basicly gone.

I'm thinking about making a box to use bulkhead fittings -6 for braided lines for a replacement.

How close do you park your Porsches in your garage? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Dial up sucks! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) Rather use the T1 at work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

No, I did not scratch either. Pulled mirror out for effect. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Normally part 2-3 inches apart (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
