So, I've got my eye on a nice 73 1.7 but noticed a few rust spots bubbling up the paint. I'm an idiot when it comes to rust and rust repairs so I've got this question.
What is mechanism for this rust in this area (see red arrow) Okay, I'm not completely dumb and recognize the source would be moisture. But I see quite a few 914's with rust in this area. Is this rusting from the inside out? Or perhaps just poor prep before paint? I stopped short of jabbing the bubble with a screwdriver cuz I obviously didn't want to damage the guys paint so I don't know if it goes all the way thru. The front trunk has some rust holes thru it as well, but I am not as concerned since I assume I can get that repaired. I'm pretty sure after negoitating with the owner for about a month that the price will be about $4K. The interior is in decent shape, runs well with no oil drips and he's put about $1500 into the 5 lug conversion. Says its serviced at Otto's regularly. Whaddya think? Attached image(s)
