Found a decent looking, modified teener but its got some random spots of rust. The car isnt local so Im trying to see if its worth getting more details on. I like the price and the mods it has, so Im trying to give it a closer look. However, I havent been able to get a good pic of the hell hole from him, but he sent me a pic from what looks like the underside of it.

Here are two random spots of rust, not sure how they got there?? Im thinking there must have been moisture in the trunk?.. or it had a bunch of dirt sitting on top?? Just thinking out loud.

And this, I have no idea, though it kinda scares me as to what would be hiding inside the quarter panel

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/img.photobucket.com-16644-1464119215.2.jpg)

And finally, these are the underside shots I got. He told me they have fixed the hell hole in the past. Honestly, Im not really sure what Im looking at haha

Gaps look good on the door and you can see the naca ducts to direct air into the engine bay

Not sure what you are looking for here. Those spots of exterior rust are pretty easily dealt with when repainting the entire body. Anything less than that makes them difficult to fix and match to the old paint.

As a general rule, you can only see 10% of the actual rust that is there.

The hell hole is swiss cheese, you can see the large portion of the the floor pan that is already missing. It'll be *much* worse once you dig in there.

The spot behind the door handle is also a big red flag, that whole sections is toast and the rust most likely already extends into the inner sail panel.

The rear hood indicates a lot of moisture in the trunk, meaning your trunk floor is guaranteed to have plenty of rust as well.


There's a rustberg under that shiny paint ...

Thats why I was nervous about the bubbling on the quarter, figured that inside that panel was going to be much much worse.

tip of the iceberg right?...

Yea being a CA native Im willing to travel for the right one, but this one isnt it sadly... I was really tempted by some of the goodies the car had on it already.

Heres the entire car in case someone else is braver than I am.

Grind all of the acne smooth and spray the whole car with POR15? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

POR 15 doesn't stick all that well to thin air (which is what the centers of those rust holes will be filled with after "grinding them smooth")

That's not an $8,000 914. That is a $40,000 914 after you fix all the rust... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Driver's door rust is a big red flag. That's usually the last thing to rust.

Run Forrest, run...

The second is gone and the search continues... Im hoping to find something before the summer is over. hopefully things will align with what Im looking for and what I can afford. The really nice ones I want and wont need anything are over 30k and thats way over my budget. Theres a lot in the 10-20 range but its tough for me to start there.
