QUOTE(moralem @ Jun 27 2010, 09:07 PM)  I am looking at this car on Craigs list they want 3k which includes a whole bunch of parts what do you guys think. It is virtually rust free being a Cali car and now in OK. Here is the website you can visit. http://picasaweb.google.com/JonBreen2000/1972Porsche91402 This is what those Quarter sized rust bubbles will look like when you dig them out - & this is only the start of what the full extent is (see pic below). The pix don't show any of the usual rust problem areas. IMHO Rust Free California 914s is a MYTH - same for any other supposedly dry state. They all have some, it just hasn't shown up yet! FYI - my 73 2L has always lived in SoCal since 1st sold 11/9/72, I've owned it since 12/75 (2nd owner) & it had a $6500+ rolling resto/rustoration in 1980-83, then was put on blocks in my garage 5/85 to now - & it grew rust in the hell hole, where the sail/door/fender area rust in the pic below shows - that had been repaired in `80, pass. side steering rack, engine firewall/engine shelf behind the sound/heat pad, etc., etc., etc. A real surprise to me, thinking that all I needed to do was repair some F&R body damage from when the ditz hit it in `85 & putting it in storage! I doubt that this red 914 FS is rust free! Try to get one of the OK Teeners who know the problem areas to check it out with/for you. If this is not the one, keep looking. Ooops - forgot the pic - here ya go!  .... behind Driver Door @ Sail/R Fender Top Joint Area Happy Hunting! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom - a long time Calif 914 owner /////// |
