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! |

Well Pete, That doesnt look too bad. The battery tray is pretty much gone and will need a new one. They can be bought for around $60.00 and you can weld it in yourself. I have done a few of them. As for the rust underneath, it doesnt look like it got too much of the long so I would say its very repairable. As for cost? I dont know as I do all the work myself. If you were to pay someone to fix that, just for labor it could be about $300 or $400. Depends on where you take it. I hope this helps. It is easily fixable. I would go for it. If the price was right anyway.
