Think I’m going to have to cross mine off the VIN registry.
Fuck, I love this car. Corrosion already starting everywhere the water made it up to. Going to hose it down with fresh water and spray some WD-40 wherever I can. Looking for any tips on how to preserve as much as possible. |

I’m in the “drill access holes, clean, treat for rust, and paint “ side of the discussion. I think you can clean it out and mitigate/arrest any corrosion. All that said, it is a time sensitive problem and dealing with it asap is a good idea. Get an undercoating kit and a case of Eastwood’s Internal Frame Coating
I’m just wrapping up a resto-mod on a chassis that was dipped and going forward I’d never have a 914 chassis dipped again, although it came to me completely stripped. There’s just so much involved. It’s easy to throw out “get it dipped and e-coated”, but show me a thread where someone has done it to a 914. When you say that do you realize how much additional painting and seam sealing has to be done, let alone redoing all that in a way that replicates a factory application? I’ll only mention the problems with “Faraday effect” and all the closed up box sections in a 914 An older thread: Corrosion treatment I’d add that a decent endoscope will help assess your situation, and having the chassis on a rotisserie is a huge benefit. |
