Hi All, I am new to the world of car restoration and 914's. While cruising c's list I found a deal I couldn't refuse, and the rest is history. She runs, but she's rough. I trailered her home, drove her throught the neighborhood a few times then put her in the garage and have spent a few weekends chipping away at the cosmetic flaws. There's a lot of rust. But not in the places that I keep reading about (hell hole, floor pans, etc.) Currently, I'm torn. Do I put band-aids on the boo-boos and spend 7 months out of this year driving it like I stole it? Or start the grueling project of disassembly, rust repair and re-assembly? In the case of the latter, I won't get to enjoy her for a couple years... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

take the rockers off and check.
but my experience over 25 years tell me that you can't afford to fix the rust on that car over whay you can buy one for I sold an Abosolutely rust free car for 6K with good paint (running) the parts/tools/labor/paint are going to run you much more than 6k before you even start to mess with the engine or suspension. drive it and enjoy but it may not be worth putting 20k into it,. |
