LOL. I already have a money sucking project going on at Scotty B's. Parting the car would make some money but I sort of hate the idea of tearing apart an 80K, 1 owner car. I will take pics of hell hole and longs and decide from there.

being in range of Scotty B is dangerous to your wallet. His work is just way too nice to resist.

Scotty does awesome work at reasonable prices. Best kept secret of 914world for sure.

If I knew my car was going to be this bad I would have started with a rustier car. Oh well.

Well, you gotta pull the trunk mats and carpet outa the way...
German Pile carpet don't rust, but the paper thin sheetmetal underneath...


There was a puddle of smelly water under the carpet. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Well if it is holding water then the pans are still in good shape!

You may find a lot of rust when looking at the longs, but this car looks worth to save !!!

I poked hard with a screwdriver at the longs and the hell hole and the only part i could poke through was the driver side jack plate. Didn't look under the car since the tires had sunk in the mud but everything looked pretty good and a lot better than I expected. I pulled some tar off the floor pan behind the driver seat and it was mostly clean metal except for some surface rust in the channels. Too bad this car was left out over the last 4 years. I imagine it was really nice at one time.

Scotty B is getting the wheels so if I keep it, I will use the 2.0 liter Fuchs from my old car. Wonder if the spare is a Pedrini ? - forgot to check.
