When I bought another 914 2 months ago I new it had a broken back. When I picked it up in the middle I saw that it flexed about 3/8" from the windshield to the rear hoop and I knew it was in for some major work.
Today I jacked my "good car" to adjust the clutch and just for fun decided to see if the car "flexed" at all. To my surprise, my "tight" recently restored car had about a 1/16" difference between the windshield and the rear hoop with the wheels off the ground and on.
Just how good is good and how bad is bad?
Just how bad is yours?
