Hey Guys,
My dad and I are doing a Rustoration on a 914 2L. Basically the Drivers floor / passenger rear / passenger firewall / trunk / battery tray. The Longs look good.... we think. Here is my question, On the hellhole, how much pitting is ok? What should i do for this? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/img3.imageshack.us-14565-1350783306.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/imageshack.us-14565-1350783306.2.jpg) And here is an overview of the lil darlin (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/imageshack.us-14565-1350783306.3.jpg) Thanks for any advice! -Eric |

For once I have to disagree with Mark. Once the hell hole is compromised, these cars rust from the inside out. You need to perform the " screwdriver " test on the outside as well before making a final call on this car. Jab the long and the suspension console as well. I would also encourage taking a knotted wire brush to the whole suspension console, and jack post areas as well. Better safe than sorry (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
