I have acquired a 914-2.0 from my father which I believe is a model from 74. Its been garaged for 15 years and hasnt been started since. Its currently blocked in and covered with a bunch of old garage junk. Where is a good shop in the Bay Area to get this car road worthy? What is a guesstimate on costs? I would like to maybe drive the car next summer.
Problem areas I saw include: Battery box rusted and area around it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Leaky battery removed 14 years ago. Sticky creeking pedals Grinding shifter Passenger exterior door handle broke and removed. Also maybe a smaller steering wheel for a six footer? The shift lever hits the knee. Ill try and have pictures at a later date once the garage has been cleaned out. Thanks |

i suspect that rust goes farther. From the pics, it doesn't look to bad to fix. but you are in California, and people out there dont like to do rust repair (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) they just buy another car (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) but i agree with all of the other responses. Another area to check for rust is behind the seats. pull the seats forward, and remove the small piece of carpet. The rear window leaks, and rusts out the floor. And pop the rocker covers off. you might not like what you find. one more thing, WELCOME!!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wavey.gif)
