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

Not a parts car.. Very savable.. I teach welding at a college level for a living and can tell you this. It takes very little in the way of welding skills to fix this.. It needs a desire to work with a metal puzzle.. You need to research proper order of things etc but it can be saved amd should be. People are quick to scrap cars.. I think that is a shame and want to see them all saved.. If I am lucky in a year I see 1 914 on the road. They are rare around here and that will be the trend everywhere Becuase they rust and people give up on them..
