We can call it the 1/32 floorpan, maybe 1/64. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

That's a lot of rust holes ...

That's not a "daily driver". That is an accident waiting to happen.

Time to start taking the bus, if you don't have any other car.

C'mon, he drives this thing daily and works for AA. He has demonstrated expert decision making abilities. Give him a break (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Next time you put the seat belt on, you may want to connect it THEN sit on it so it can rescue you from falling through.

I think that Ripper deserves a break here.

If my daily gig was patching and bondo-ing dead people, and an opportunity came along to work in a place that specialized in 914s, I would take it in a heartbeat.

The guy that he works for may not be very popular here, but I have to say that Ripper has done a brilliant job of walking that fine line of being a great World citizen while still representing AA in a way that George never could.

All of that being said, it is pretty sad that he even needed to post this. It is the equivalent of a dental assistant posting a picture of a huge cavity and asking advice from strangers on how to get it fixed.

You got me, I took this job to have a fun break from the embalming business for a while. I don't mind driving a rusty car, I've never owned a car newer than a 1978 model (a scirocco). The 914 is rusty and falling apart but it's reliable.

I was hoping they'd come up with an easy fix, and when I brought it up they did.

Not Popular?
How many actual links are there to their site?
In business you can't please everyone.
They must be doing something right to continue.
I'm pretty certain "I'll be talking to George then".
For the convenience.

I would totally agree here.
I do think AA should have spent a bit more time patching that up with more metal.
A few pieces across the back would have take about one hour to get done....

Take care of your employees.

sounds like my old blazer only difference it had a frame under it to stop the seat from falling to the ground (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) when i got my 914 it had two pipes welded from the front crossmember to the engine crossmember. they aparantly thought that would keep it from folding in half. it did a little i suppose. would have been better if they kept going to the back tranny mounts. but it also had sheet metal tacked in to hold up the floor boards. man it was a disaster.
