Last week Rich/914werke spotted the first evidence of significant rust on this car, in the usual area under the battery tray. I know further exploration is needed, but I'm interested in your guesses whether it's something I should deal with immediately, or wait until next winter.
Related question: Does replacing the passenger side long, etc. usually mean wrecking the interior and paint?  Passenger door closes, but droops a little when not latched.  |
