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)

Not sure what your goals, skill level, or knowledge level is with 914’s
But it’s n general any car that has a rust hole (or possibly even a rust bubble) is going to have significantly more rust not showing and may not be cost effective to fix If your. Great welder and great painter. Already own all of the equipment and have lots of free time you can change the decision point. But the average guy doesn’t want to spend 7-10K on a 12K car after the purchase price Rust is still the most significantly expensive and important quality in a 914. Over year and model |
