Here's one of mine. A 2 inch lap joint in the rear fender, with a raw, open edge inside. And lots of bondo outside.

Wish I had pictures but some of these are from cars long gone.
Bad repairs are not limited to 914’s. How about a Speedster that was converted to disc brakes with a pipe fitting screwed into the banjo bolt hole. Or a 356A sunroof coupe that was hit in the front and had a clip welded on with the right side 2 inches forward of the left. Lap welded on of course with huge overlaps and rust underneath. I had a 67 911S with an engine rebuilt by Vasek Polak that had the cam sprockets offset the wrong way so the chains hit the case openings. I have a 75 9911S that had F/G flares held on with drywall screws. Another 67 911S with brakes that had been rebuilt by a big name repair shop with the right rear caliper dog bone spacer installed under one caliper bolt only. The caliper was crooked and rubbed on the disc hub. Still left the shop. That door hinge is the best of the worst so far though. |
