Been driving my 914 frequently, just too much fun to sit in the barn all summer. Couple of days ago I noticed the rear decklid gaps had gotten terrible (see pic). Checked it out and it seems that the hinge-mount-thingy is no longer secured to the car. Looks like a weld has failed.
Now, I can take this car completely apart and I have significant knowledge of the engine/drivetrain having spent 25 years with a VW bus, but I can't weld, and I am terrible at bodywork. So, how bad is this? I imagine I'll need to take it somewhere, but need somewhere that "knows" 914s? I am in the Louisville KY area so if anyone knows a shop that is capable of fixing this, I'd love to hear about them. Cincy and Indy are within driving distance if the shop is that good. |
