since I originally posted the photos, I kept digging. was very concerned about what the longs looked like, so take a look , new photos of longs added
OK guys, I had this project (72 1700) sitting around for 10 years, the first 3 covered and protected. after a windstorm took out my shed - it's been sitting out since then. The body strikes me as being very solid, but it does have a few rust issues in wierd places as far as I can tell. It sure looks to me like most rust was caused by rain leaking into the interior. There is some what I would consider minor hell hole issues, can't really see the longs - but looks like 1 baseball sized hole - the rest very solid! I have to decide what to do. I would like to return it to a daily driver fun car status, but I just took on a big Land Rover project, and my skill set knowledge is a much better match to the rover than the 914. And we all know what time drains these things are. so can I impose on the knowledgeable to take a look at 15 or so photos and give me their honest opinion on value if I was to sell it as it sits, vrs condition skill required to put it back to functional. It was running when it was bought, drove it onto and off the trailer. If so, would I just post photos here, or is there a better way to do that ? thanks Carl J Fresno Ca |

Just remember, the rust you see right now is probably only 25% of the rust that is actually there.
Keep digging, you haven't found it all yet. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) did you check out the passenger suspension console. That's a $2,500 repair on it's own. |
