trying to see how long I can go without a 914  Group: Members Posts: 487 Joined: 14-November 13 From: Westchester (Los Angeles) Member No.: 16,644 Region Association: Southern California  |
Hey guys, Ive been dying to get a 914, but with just one garage spot and a car currently in it, I havent been able to make the purchase. Ive been trying to sell my 77 Rabbit and the thing people have been bitching about the most is the rust. Its not too bad, but they use it as a bargaining chip to lowball me and Im at the point where I really want to get it fixed. Plus I figure this will be good practice to fix rust when it comes time to tackle the inevitable rust on my future 914.
The rust isnt in critical spots, just on the floor and I have a replacement pan to weld in, but I dont have a welder and I dont have an electrical outlet in my garage. Im in Orange county but I will travel a decent distance if the help is there. I tried to commission DIYgarage but they couldnt help. I basically have most of the tools except for the welding side of things. |

You could try Milt aka Zeke on our board. He fixed the hell hole in my 914.

I think he is in Long Beach. He drove to my house in Laguna Niguel and worked on my car. It took two 1/2 days to repair everything.
