Help evaluate my car in NJ, What to do next Options

[chewy71]

Hi, I have had my 914 for about 7 years , with it on or off the road for mechanical issues at various times. I knew nothing about these cars when I bought it, but have made the necessary mechanical repairs to keep it going for at least some of the time.

I really enjoy driving it, but the time has come to take a look at the rust and decide if I should tackle it or continue to drive as is as long as I can. I believe many rust repairs were
made by previous owners but don't know how to evaluate.

The car does drive straight at all speeds and sits right. the doors close well and there does not appear to be any sag.

What I need is someone who knows more about these cars then me to help evaluate which course I should take. I would gladly pay a nominal fee for the help. I will also drive the car to your location and I am very flexible on time.

Not looking for much more than someone else's opinion. Nothing binding, no documentation required.

If anyone relatively local had time to take a look I would greatly appreciate it. Alternatively, recommendations for a shop to take a look are also welcome.

Thanks in advance,
Mike from Long Branch NJ 07740

Injunmort,

Definitely not a ferrari lol, and you make a good point. I need to check if I am open that weekend and will drive up if I am. I have been using the car as my daily driver for the last couple weeks and have always got where I was going. the car will make it. And if not, it is not a big deal. Won't be the first or last time I break down on the side of the road.

Anyway, Please PM me the details (location, time, what should I bring) and I will drive up on the 15th.
