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,

Dude,

A Boxster or Cayman if you can afford one is a great car. The newer the better but as Boxster’s have been around for 20 years you should be able to find one. Be careful on early 6s in Boxster’s because of the IMS bearing.

I remember when my 1st 911 needed a fuel pump. It was $350 for a part on my car that was just a few 6 years old. Used (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) Car was $9,500. Back in 78. 73 911s. You know what that S is worth today.

The Boxster is all around you. It is an extension of you just like a 914. These are really very small cars.

It's not in the way that you hold me,
 It's not in the way you say you care,

 It's not in the way you've been treating my friends,
 It's not in the way that you stayed till the end, 
It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you'll do,

Hold the line, love isn't always on time, oh oh oh Hold the line, love isn't always on time, oh oh oh
It's not in the words that you told me, girl
It's not in the way you say you're mine, ooh
It's not in the way that you came back to me,
It's not in the way that your love set me free,
It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you'll do
Hold the line, love isn't always on time, oh oh oh
Hold the line, love isn't always on time, oh oh yea
