Having a little trouble passing safety, mechanic wanted a full body restore...luckily the body shop disagreed and said some patches should be fine to which another mechanic is on board with. However, I can't even tell what I'm looking at...Is that just painted rust? painted welds? painted seem sealer? any info or tips appreciated. Just trying to assess where I'm at and what I'm working with!
VIDEO: https://i.imgur.com/dAzfg1E.mp4 There's 3-4 holes in the underside, 1 is about the size of a quarter under the passenger seat. The interior of the trunks and interior of the floor looks pretty good, though? Looks like the jack points are cut off/missing on the rockers as well: All the fender wells look like this: Longs: Updated Patch work: |

looking at those photos it seems like the jacking point donut plate is still there on left side but gone on right side. says not good classic 914 hell hole chassis long problem.
someone who knows can tell you how bad. and of course a bit more, looking at floor pan. i mean its 50 years down the road, somehow its got to here. i saw in chicago 30 years ago well beyond that. so somehow it got to here in time. interior looks good. everything there to construct a good car. i can remember even 30 years ago folks used to joke about how to make a perfect 914. buy a northern one for the interior and a southern one for the body and put them both together. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) the days of buying a northern summer only car are long gone dreams? that was the little secret half a lifetime ago. they were around back then. |
