Just out of curiosity. What would a repair cost and would the outer body need to be cut?

Looks like a low-rust east coast car.

I shipped it in from Bakersfield, Ca. Ebay buy with a "Less" than honest seller. Was actually still wearing the original blue plate. I have paperwork back into the early '80s on the car from California. I know a little more now than I did then.

be honest with us ....

do you think it is worse than this car .... ????

http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=16748

it could be that only a small amount of inner long is holding the car together.

Overall I don't believe she is as bad as that, but she is not in good shape. Some day I hope to get her repaired.

I think he's over on the Club site.

Was he the West Coast dude who was fabricating CF fenders and the such?

Didn't mean to hijack the post. Also remember that any rust you see externally is twice as bad internally...

You'll be doing a Fred Flintstone if you keep driving that 914 in that condition Shoe! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Remember that the 1970's were El Nino years for California - although they didn't know it then. It wasn't uncommon to have streets flooded over the curbs, since we use surface drainage for stormwater & don't have storm drains for the most part.

So a 914 with 4.7" of ground clearance would've been flooded over the longs if it were in the street at the time.

Go ahead and drive it BUT you better have a lot of liability insurance because when it breaks and some one gets hurt YOUR ASS IS GRASS
Good LUCK
