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, Jon [attachmentid=682 144] Attached image(s) |

I disagree with some of the assessments above. those "screw heads" may be rosette welds. and as long as the battery tray is well done, it's not substandard. you never know until you can look at the car in person.
I wouldn't write this car off yet. definitely do your diligence and if you want a project with potential need for rust repair, go for it. |

We're talking about the clearly visible screw heads on the outside long "repair", not the battery tray. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) |
