So I'm looking at possibly buying this car, it's about 3 hours away from me so I'm only seeing pictures of it right now.
These two pictures obviously make me cringe knowing that there's bound to be more rust behind the jack plates. But, I thought Id see what everyone else thought. Ben Attached image(s)

Heres the best picture I have of the battery area. No shots looking up underneath yet although I have asked for those.
The seller is a 914 guy, like me, but has only owned two of them. I've had 10 or so but only driven 4 of them :-) I'm looking for either a project that needs cosmetic and engine work or a car for a 6 conversion. I know how to weld but don't really want to do any massive structural repair. If this car just needs jack plates and a few patches then I'm fine with it. I'm not sure that it's a great deal, he's asking 2k but the deal also comes with a parts car (unknown year at this point). The main car has been sitting for 10 years and is not currently running. From looking at the second pic the door gap still looks good. I've seen many in the past where the top of the door gap was nearly closed. Ben Attached image(s)

QUOTE(bwillis @ Dec 21 2009, 09:12 AM)  From looking at the second pic the door gap still looks good. I've seen many in the past where the top of the door gap was nearly closed. That's because the doors are closed and the top is on. You need to go and see that car in person. I suspect it's pretty bad and $2k is on the high end. Take the top off, open the doors and sit in the passenger seat. Then try to close the door. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Anywho, that passenger side long is rusted through so you know there's more rust. What about the floorpan on that side? You really need to poke around that whole section with a screwdriver. I bet you end up with more holes than you thought.
