I know Teeners rust. Is this the norm for all Porsche's or just the Teener?
Was very little primer or paint used or not used in the production of the Teener's under carriage? I have seen some rust pictures of Teeners in this forum and I am amazed how much rust they had before they were restored. I know the Hell Hole rusted because the old batteries would over flow with acid because of rain on top of the battery. I know there was a recall and a plastic cover was added. Inquiring minds want to know! |

Alas, the poor 914 was an entry level Porsche and not a garage queen. It was frequently purchased as the primary means of transportation and rain, snow and salt all had their way with the cars while the pamperd 911's were tucked away in a nice dry garage.
