No one is doubting your ability to evaluate rust. But surface rust only, is a rare occurrence on 914s. Because the 914 was put together with many overlapping layers of un rust preventive treated metal, rust has been forming in these areas for many years before any indications of surface rust can be seen.
I hope that you do have some truly rust free cars. But many of us here have had to break the bad rust news to other car owners, potential sellers, potential buyers, and regrettably our selfs after making a purchase. It can be hard to find and harder to repair than you would ever think. So no one is poking you with a sharp stick, they are really just trying to help you figure out the right ones to keep because they are great cars which with your experience could do some crazy fun modifications. Best of luck. |
