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. |

drive it and have fun, repair in the winter, not that bad as long as you have a battery tray
by the way, I do not like "hell" and "914" in the same sentence, maybe we can all change that expression to "rust in the battery area" How about it? |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) It's been called Hell Hole for a good reason...for decades! This is the same semantical diversion as those who deny the NARP label from the early days. I was there, it was real. BTW Michael, drive it till the weather turns again; unless the butt test is really bad. |
