I just got my 914 in today to find much more rust than the car was said to have. Most if very minor and I can repair without a problem. The one spot that has me worried is the section located in the spot in this picture. There is a nice 3" hole there and while looking up in the whole I see some custy rust on the wall between the engine and seats but its not that bad. Other than that it just looks like the rust is in the floor. The battery tray was rusted up bad but to be honest the area under the battery does not look bad at all. I guess this is the Hell hole that everyone is talking about but mine is not near as bad as the others I have seen. Maybe Im missing something but It looks like I can clean up all the rust inside the whole, treat it and then weld a patch on the floor. What do you think?

I Have done all of that beside the lower inner firewall and removing the tar from the floors. The sails are perfect and the cowl looks good but I have not removed the glass. There is no bubbling in that area at all so Maybe Im good. The trunk floors has a very very minor holes I will just patch. So far I have the hell holes and at least the rear floor section that I will replace as a whole.
Im going to try to drop the motor, trany out this weekend and get to searching for more rust. Mike |
