Hi, yet another question from a 914 rookie. I found a '73 2.0 that is in really good shape, except there is a patch of rust rot under the battery tray (around 3"x5")- a screwdriver could be easily pushed through. Is this a red flag, or is it a relatively easy (and hopefully inexpensive) fix? Where could i get this kind of work done and done well?
thanks for your help! |

Cume on you guys, he is new, Yes it is fixable, no its not cheap, how much is the car? Or did you aleady buy it? The rust could be rally bad or it may just be minor rust. If it has gone through the longitudinal, I would pass on the car. If it has only rusted away the top layer of metal, it can be fixed. Look for sagging on the passenger side at the door jamb. Take pictures and post them here, we can tell better by looking at pictures. Look under the rocker panel on the passenger side. Look at the jack point also. See how bad the rust really is from the bottom. Its hard to say from your description.
