Good morning- first of all best wishes for a happy new year to everyone.
Seller described this car is having a "straight body" but when I just looked at it more carefully this appears to have been an accident and had a poor rear clip replacement. Rear trunk floor is dimpled. Missing jack receivers too. Could I ask that more experienced 914 owners take a look and let me know what you think? I have not bought this car yet, I struck a deal on it based upon seller being a fellow Porsche guy... Attached thumbnail(s)

QUOTE(Tdskip @ Jan 1 2018, 11:45 AM)  Driver side Happy New Year to you too! I'm no body expert, but that amount of rust would scare me even without the questionable repair history. You can bet there's more you haven't seen or found, yet. Sadly, "fellow Porsche guy" means nothing. I guess it depends on the asking price and how badly do you want this project. The hole gets very deep, very quickly. Personally, I would walk away from anything that set off alarm bells unless I had the time and skills to do most of the work myself. Even then... - MR |
