Hello,
I have been trying to find someone who knows 914's in the Los Angeles area. I had an accident a few weeks ago, damaged the front (see images). I have been collection the parts for the repair. I have been asking everyone around here for a shop that knows 914's but not much luck, mostly 911 shops. ![]() ![]() ![]() Along with the front end damage, I have a few rust issues that need to be addressed. I found shops that are willing to do the front end repair but not the rust damage. One of the shops would not touch the car unless I did a full rotisserie restoration. I don't have the funds for that extensive a project. The rust is concentrated in the outer longs area (see images) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I am pretty competent with the 914 mechanicals. I have owned this car for 31 years and have been wrenching it myself, (only other person to do any work on the car in 30+ years is the guy I trust to do my wheel alinements). I am trying to find someone close to the Los Angeles area that has done this before and knows 914's hopefully as well as I do. Thanks in advance for any info you may have. Mike |

You may have actually done yourself a favor by having the accident as it made you take a real look at the car's issues.
I would agree with the other responses that this amount of rust is terminal. You've gotten a lot of great miles on your car, but it's time to say goodbye. Find another tub and you'll be world's ahead and it will be money well spent. |
