I have had my car for eight years and i would drive it like twice a month. This month i needed to bleed the brakes so i decided to take out the rocker panel and look what i found. ( currently i have the car in my condo parking garage on the six floor with no breaks and the condo assoc had a shit fit when i tried to work on the car, they want to fine me money) they can (IMG:style_emoticons/default/KMA.gif) In all i have no option but to save money and find a shop here in Miami, Fl ( anyone knows of a good shop in Miami) . My friend fixes and restores old American cars i guess I call him for help and pricing.
And yes My hell hole is a big Hole (IMG:style_emoticons/default/devil.gif) (but battery tray is still holding) I am going to order Engman 914 Hell Hole Kit. HOW BAD IS THIS. I want to start buying the parts I need. Do you guys think i need to buy the clamshells or just do patch work on the longs.. ( note when going to restore i want a full restoration) Thanks Drive side long. (IMG:http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w177/JCD404/IMG_2616.jpg) Drive side Jack Post (IMG:http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w177/JCD404/IMG_2618.jpg) Right rear long and you see no doughnut i guess the PO did some restore (IMG:http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w177/JCD404/IMG_2641.jpg) Passenger Long (IMG:http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w177/JCD404/IMG_2619.jpg) Passenger Jack post (note the rust goes through the rocker) (IMG:http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w177/JCD404/IMG_2620.jpg) Passenger front long (IMG:http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w177/JCD404/IMG_2623.jpg) |

Honestly, its not that bad from the pics you show.
Once you remove the motor and battery tray you will see more rust for sure. Get the brakes fixed and drive it. It wont break yet. Shop around for a shop that knows how to do 914's you can try asking Gary Kempton...be seated when you call, he does award winning restorations. I would call him and ask, he will know all the shops near you and he is really cool. http://www.gkrestorations.com Rich |

Thanks for looking (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . I feel better now. I am going to place a nice order in a week or two at A/A to start buying parts for my restore. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
