Hi, yet another question from a 914 rookie. I found a '73 2.0 that is in really good shape, except there is a patch of rust rot under the battery tray (around 3"x5")- a screwdriver could be easily pushed through. Is this a red flag, or is it a relatively easy (and hopefully inexpensive) fix? Where could i get this kind of work done and done well?
thanks for your help! |
