Picked up my first 914 on Sunday morning. Nice deal - straight trade for my project BMW 2002 (plus the time I put into that, but oh well). The new car still has its FI system in good working order, the PO put in a few thousand in the past two years getting it squared away, so mechanically, I'm all there.
I was digging around in the problem rust areas and discovered more in the hell hole corner than I spotted the first time (thanks to this board for pointing it out) and it appears that there are some penetrating tin worm holes. From my untrained eyes, it doesn't look like it went much further - can I check this from underneath the car or someplace else to see the extent of the damage? I'm having a tough time removing the box in front of the battery tray to get an unobstructed view from up top. Other than that and a nice JB weld patch just forward of the driver's seat, I haven't caught any nastiness (except the PO's aftershave odor, still in the car after all day with the top off!). Definitely a tail shifter, but I think I've figured out the synchros enough to avoid that awful grinding noise on the low shifts. I've got loads of pictures that I'll post tonight so the informed can point out any big things I might have missed (sitting too low, missing a door, where's this part or that, etc.). TIA, Mike (in Portland) |

Your tailshifter comment...If you replace all your bushings and line it up correctly your tranny will shift aswell as a sideshifter. My tailshifter actually shifts nicer than my sideshifter (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) Congrats on your trade!
