Remember all 914's came equipped with rust from the factory. The repair work for this stuff adds up quickly and can easily get into the $5.k range in a blink. Do the doors open and close currently? If so I just may drive it like hell.

My first 914 had the passenger tire leaning in more than the driver. It kept on leaning in more until it was rubbing the inside quarter. That's when I learned all about the suspension console. |
