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

Anyway what do you guys think this car is worth in current state judging by the bottom picture? Good paint on the top side may just mean it's a good looking parts car. But it's not safe to drive and will cost you a lot to repair correctly. Given the pictures, im sure there's a lot more rust lurking if you look hard enough. Definitely fixable though, they all are. What's your time worth? How deep is your wallet ? Got welding skills? Want to learn? |
