I had a 75 Targa with exactly the same option. We carefully cut out and replaced the rusted sections and thought we were done. After a few years, we had the same look on the metal next to the new stuff. Be very carefull to get all solid metal before spending more money.
If I was doing it again, I would absolutely take the car down to bare frame and have it blasted or acid dipped so you really know what you're facing and what needs replacing. Just my experience. We ended up taking the car apart and transplanting the good mechanical parts to a 914 chassis to make my 914-6GT replica, and sold off the good body panels. Though the car looked great from the top, if you knew what you were looking for, I didn't consider the car safe. I wouldn't sell it as a driver, only as parts. |
