Bought this puppy in October. When I put the VIN number in the database a previous entry came up from the po which had a pic of the car and a copy of an ad he was running on ebay, which stated "no rust" Here is photo took today while removing tar from floor. Can't see in this picture but passenger rear floor pretty much swiss cheese. Nice to show passengers what was holding them up! And found out all that pink insulation in front of tunnel was an animal's nest (rat, mouse, bird? (lots of bird feathers). There are not covers on tunnel ports. Now my big concern is, do I really have to cut fender off to do a proper restore? |

I have learned not to trust anyone who says "no rust". I bought a Saab Sonett many years ago from a guy in Memphis, which he claimed had no rust. When I made it there, the floors had holes large enough to accomodate Fred Flinstone (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
I ended up buying it anyway, though I started feeling a strong "distrust" in people that day. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |

He is up here in washington, smog Not applicable.
I know (esp. eastcoasters) you can save thousands in health not welding and grinding, but most choose to do it anyway. = crusher for better tubs I forgot to mention swaybars front and rear BTW those sail panels on the orange car are bumpy for a reason=rust, lesson learned the hard way. |

I would be interested in one of these later cars; it is impossible to find clean ones in the Northeast. That orange car would be considered rust free back here. I found a nice one a few years back while visiting relatives in Dublin. The deal fell apart though because I couldn't find a trucking company in the Bay Area that wanted to ship a roller. |

I would seriously consider going and picking up a load of good shells if people were willing to pitch in, buy them, pay shipping, etc. It would essentially be free labor.
When I wrecked my actual rust free 914 here in the east, a nice guy whose name I forget (shameful of me) GAVE me a clean tub from CA. I paid about $1100 to ship it out and saved a mint over the trash I was finding here in the East. |
