Rust cover up?, Car looks good, but how can I tell if rust is just covered Options

[Jon199]

I am considering purchasing this project 914. I am concerned that rust may have been covered up by a rhino lining or similar spray application at the hell hole. Does anyone have any knowledge of the car or any advice as to what exactly what I should be looking for when I go inspect the car in person?
Thanks,

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) The carnage occurring to 914's is atrocious.

I won't stir things up with the whole debate of why folks choose to convert 914's to water cooled engines. OK maybe I already did. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

If you want a major project - jump in a please rescue this car.

If you want a driver - run away fast.

In addition to previous post on the floor pan:

Battery tray repair is substandard

Holes cut into Frunk and the copper tubing to accommodate the water cooling speak for themselves.

Trunk brackets are held on by self tapping screws

I can guarantee you that the previous owner was "learning" on this car. No shame, we all learn somewhere but the question is whether you want to inherit someone's mistakes.

There is rust under the paint as you already know. What you can see is only 20% of what is there.

As someone currently working on a project with Rhino liner or other bed liner crap spayed on, it will hide a multitude of sins that you won't see until you dig under it. Be prepared mentally!
