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

Same shot as number 2. But the other (right) side. But shoot it straight on so we can see the gap.

Same shot as number 2. But the other (right) side. But shoot it straight on so we can see the gap. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Here's an example. We need to see a shot that looks like this. Straight on, on the passenger side rear door gap. That's the one that will tell you if the frame is starting to fold (the driver's rear door gap will as well, but it usually starts on the passenger side because that's where the battery is). If there is a consistent gap from top to bottom, you're good. If the gap varies, or if there is little or no gap at all, or if the gap changes when you lift the rear of the car off the ground on jacks, then you're in trouble. Attached image(s) |
