Hey Allen,

Nice looking 914, with nice clean longs - for almost 50 years old now!

While mud wasp nests aren't as common everywhere, the dirt up into the rocker covers is pretty common to build-up over time, & worse on the passenger or curb side here in the US because we park in the dirty gutters on that side (probably the opposite in RHD countries).

It's good preventative maintenance to pull off the rockers every few years to clean that out so it doesn't hold rust up against the longs & start the rust going. That's probably what happened at the rust spot that you pointed out in the last pic.

Cheers! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
