Ok, so I'm not getting a warm fuzzy on the father giving the 914 to me after all these years so I've opted to go find my own. There's a few on ebay and craigslist. What rusted areas are super bad news? I've got a welder and a grinder and I'm not afraid to use them. lol. How much of the area under the battery box becomes a serious issue, etc. Again, I'm not opposed to ripping stuff out and welding in new steel. I just don't want to start a losing battle if there are known issues that go beyond that. Like, ya know, welding a sawzall party car back together.

Anyone? Anyone selling a 73-74 2.0 for a reasonable price here? anyone seen the ones on ebay and various areas of craigslist? Thoughts? Suggestions? Hugs and someone to spoon with? Andy? Beuller? Is this thing on? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

http://www.pbase.com/redphoto/1974_914 there are more pics of this car here.. they show under the battery tray rust area.. etc.

Any thoughts on this car? It's here in SoCal. Shows rust under battery tray and in trunk area. Can anyone 'see' the value of this car in their head... if the rust shown is baaaaaaad news?

if this car is 'ok'... what would be a fair bid on it?

I'm heading to pelican to check their guide. Thanks!
