Bought this puppy in October. When I put the VIN number in the database a previous entry came up from the po which had a pic of the car and a copy of an ad he was running on ebay, which stated "no rust" Here is photo took today while removing tar from floor. Can't see in this picture but passenger rear floor pretty much swiss cheese. Nice to show passengers what was holding them up! And found out all that pink insulation in front of tunnel was an animal's nest (rat, mouse, bird? (lots of bird feathers). There are not covers on tunnel ports. Now my big concern is, do I really have to cut fender off to do a proper restore? |

I would seriously consider going and picking up a load of good shells if people were willing to pitch in, buy them, pay shipping, etc. It would essentially be free labor.
When I wrecked my actual rust free 914 here in the east, a nice guy whose name I forget (shameful of me) GAVE me a clean tub from CA. I paid about $1100 to ship it out and saved a mint over the trash I was finding here in the East. |

If you could make enough to cover expenses it would be fun and may lead to other opportunities. |
