even if ill cut all the rusted areas , weld new parts insted, put all the rust fighting prudocts and do a full replacmant of rusted areas (never mind the costs)??? thanks

bender, listen to SirAndy, and get the hint from some of the others; the car is junk, or what we refer to as a "parts car." There is rust EVERYWHERE, and that's only what I see in the pics under all the bubbling paint and pinhole daylight.

We're not so much as trying to spare your feelings as much as sparing your wallet; this car can turn into a serious money pit. You won't recoup your investment any time soon (lucky if you break even), since the car isn't remarkable in any way, shape, or form. Did Ferdinand Porsche pass gas in it? Is it a 914-6 with one of Porsche's super-secret street racing motors (Shhh ...)? Did some famous prom queen/actress lose her virginity in it? Worse yet, is this your 1st car or (shudder) 1st Porsche?

Believe us, there are better examples out there, REGARDLESS of how much you got the car for (free, I'm guessing). I've talked to some (with the necessary skills) who have taken on restorations (rust-orations?) similar to this (914's even), and they still twitch uncontrollably when talking about it. Mind you, those are the finished projects! Drugs keep my twitching to a minimum. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif)

For what you'll spend getting all that brown-ugly shiny and ready for paint, you can get a decent driver and save the therapy funds toward a possible Big-4 or -6 upgrade; we know of what we speak. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool_shades.gif)
