New to the forum and the car. Was pointed to it by an aficionado on The Samba— I have a ‘59 Karmann Ghia. https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=723793
He suggested that the people on this forum were the brain trust for all things 914 and that I should vet one here that has caught my eye on BAT: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1973-porsche-914-113/ Any insight would be appreciated! |

If they’ll let you, you can remove (possibly) the cheesehead screws on the bottom of the rocker along with the little nut and bolt front and rear. Pulling it out slightly should give you a strong indication whether or not further investigation is necessary. Otherwise just lay next to the car and have a look, if they don’t have a lift available.
But start with the battery tray and support, and of course the hell hole. Enjoy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

Take your time, because this tells much about the state of structure with the 914. If the screws come out(often they are rusted in) and the underside (structure) looks good, you are off to the races |
