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! |

I have been repairing rust in most every old car or truck I have had in the past, jeeps, scouts, chevys, vw's they all rusted, especially if left out in the weather with unprotected metal from rock chips or thin paint. The 914 battery area was not well thought out, the vw had the battery under the seat out of the weather. All battery trays rusted out on the older cars if they wern't well cared for.
