Hi all, thought'd I'd share my continuing progress on my college 914 project. I was able to get a better look underneath the car and poked around with a screwdriver, the rust looks to be mostly surface. I got the calipers off, they are def worn out and need a rebuild.
My question to you guys, is that crack in the long something that I need to be especially worried about and is it a good fix to remove the rust and patch it up with the TIG? Also, what's that plastic piece hanging from the underbelly of the car? Thanks guys     |

Your long is not original. It's likely someone did a sub-par repair and didn't completely fix the previous rust issues. It looks like the the crack is the full height of the long? If so its likely the chassis flexing so yes it should be an area of concern. I recommend inspecting this area further to determine a course of action.
And the plastic piece hanging down is a cover that protects the shift linkage connection just outside the tunnel. |
