So I'm on the fence about selling my 914. I discovered that the rust on my car was worse than expected. At this point I'm not sure if I can afford to fix the car properly but at the same time the car does bring me a good amount of joy. I posted these pictures on a 914 page and was told it was bad. Here's what I would like to know. Roughly how bad is this rust? Could I just por15 it and just enjoy the car as is for now? Finally how much do you think it's worth in the current state? Any advice is appreciated

POR15 doesn't fix rust, it just covers it up.
The pics are hard to see because of how small they are, but I see lots of holes and guessing at least some of them are in structural areas. For the sake of your safety, fix it before driving it, but first verify that it's worth saving. Post more photos here if you don't know anyone local to you that can really assess it properly. |
