I posted about buying this car last fall. the thread is here
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...ssible+purchase It's a 1974 2.0 that I decided to let sit in my mother's garage over the winter until I could figure out if i was going to go pick it up or have it it shipped. It turned out to just be less of a hassle to have it shipped. I listed it on Uship, got a bid i was happy with, and the car should be delivered this Friday or Saturday. I'm really excited to get this thing here and give it a once over. I've never seen the car in person so hopefully there are no nasty surprises waiting for me. updates will follow later this week Attached image(s)

nice looking 914!
Give that screw driver a bit of pressure... I am betting it'll go through in some of the places that "looks" solid I learned a valuable lesson from the experts here... It might look solid but give it a thorough test. The fact that you have a hole that size in the left long would suggest that the other side of it is just as bad... that area ties into your suspension console. I am still debating on which direction to go... attempt a repair or buy a lesser rusted tub. Your car looks in better shape so hopefully you'll get lucky and it will not be so bad... |
