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     |

The outer floor patches are not factory. Put 200 lbs of weight in the seat, see how the door operates and if the margins remain consistent. That appears to be a pretty rusty car. You're seeing the tip of the iceberg. what do the trunks look like? Invest in some good penetrant before you start turning too many nuts and bolts.
