there are no salvage non-rusty 914's left in Germany - they use SALT on the roads

- if you live in the US rustbelt you know what that means

(no cavity sealing ??? - 914s of the day had lots of "foam" injected into all the corners and cavities - if you don't believe it, dig into your hood & trunk corners and the cavity above the tailight on the rear fender corner - captures salt & moisture - and it rusts thru from the inside - y'al know the bubbles - (& you sanded 'em off when you repainted didn't you???)

40 yrs ago we were patching 914's in IA/IL that rusted 'pontoons' so bad they bent in half when jacked *( Brad Mayuer had a solution back then - we still buy it, but for different reasons now)

- same with 911's - we patched 'em with bondo and alu tape overlays and sent 'em west where they later claimed to be "west coast cars" never exposed to demon rust & then sold for big-bucks

(yea - i worked as a bodyman at a dealership back then)

if you live in Germany and REALLY WANT a 914 - there are no cheap junkyard rebuilder options - no "$500 and i can fix it myself" deals like we USA guys got used to 20 yrs ago

Germany - you just pay the price to have what you want`
