First, housekeeping, I am new to Porsche and this site. Is there a thread where I should introduce myself?
Now, my problem. My 914 has rusted through the metal panel located under the spare tire. From the top of the car I can see the suspension. Can this be fixed? Does anyone know of a source for a new panel and what this panel is called? Thanks, Jason |

Eric is right. Check overall first. You don't want the cancer to eat away at the hidden areas and cause more damage than a big hole you might see at first glance which might be the easiest fix.
We also have a good pamphlet "How To Buy A 914" which tells about all the typical problems and what to watch out for in the very beginning. |
