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. |

By the comment, I'm assuming the door is open in this pic, yes? If the door is actually open in this pic, there's no way to know what the door gap actually looks like. Depending on how steep an angle the pic was taken, a slightly open door could look like a super wonky door gap. Before we terrify this guy into thinking he's bought a rust bomb, let's see a pic of the door gap, the entire gap from top to bottom, with the door fully closed. |
