Saw this in the parking lot at TN Tech this morning, and I've seen it around in the Crossville/Cookeville area. Gorgeous car. It belong to anyone on here?

Sorry bout the delayed response. Things are kind of hectic around here. Today I was digging around underneath my 914 and finally realized how the longs were "fixed". They look down right dangerous. Patch metal welded (TERRIBLE welds I will add) on top of what I assume to be holes in the inner longs. I believe the previous owner didn't even make the same size patches, just took some sheet metal hammered it to the contours and welded over. The car has succumbed to jack stands, and I am somewhat torn as to how to proceed. I did buy a new driver side long, and soon enough will be buying the passenger side as well. The engine is now removed, and I'm wondering if I should just go all the way and strip it down to fix the rust issues. Sad day for me and the 914.
So as far as being road worthy, looks like it'll be awhile for that PCA drive for me (unless they allow the 914's distant fish and chips cousin, mgb gt??) Attached thumbnail(s) ![]() |
