Just got this to my house:
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i99.photobucket.com-11513-1348941677.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i99.photobucket.com-11513-1348941677.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i99.photobucket.com-11513-1348941677.3.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i99.photobucket.com-11513-1348941678.4.jpg) 1974 1.8 Brought home for $700. Needs floorpans, and a general go through to see what else is up. PO had to move this weekend so he was desparate. The build starts here. |

More trunk work today:
 Nasty work and it was only 30* today. Not a fan of the factory seam sealer. I guess it did it's job for the most part though. Fender seems easy, floor might be a strip or maybe just replace the rear part. |

I was thinking the same thing George, rust through at the top of the wheel wells? Maybe the PO liked driving through the salty surf on a beach! :shoot2kill:If the wells had heavy undercoating that might have caught water and caused the rust in that position. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) +1 That was the first thing that caught my eye too. I thought the following pics would reveal a complete rust bucket based on the weird rust in the fender, but that wasn't the case luckily. I grew up in road salt country though so nothing surprises me too much. |

I grew up in road salt country though so nothing surprises me too much. New England. I have not pulled off the wheel yet to look underneath the wheel well. The Longs kinda scare me as there is PO rust repair there and I have no jacking bits. If the door slam is an indicator of straightness I am good though. Ultimately though I am in to the car complete for $700 and I spent $175 (I think) on 4 Pedrinis. This forum though...I see some of you guys get balls deep into a tub with no welding skill etc. I think I will be OK. FWIW-I tore apart my first engine at 8, and I am a marine machinist by trade. Time and Money. Wish I had more of both. |
