Common spot, 911s suffer from this too. Repaired a similar section on the 911 but wanted to get some coaching on how far gone it usually is underneath when you see a Rhode Island size hole from the top.

If car is otherwise solid just part of the joys of 914 ownership? Right of passage?

Thanks!

That's the type where you jack up the car & splits in half! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

When the left side is that bad, the right side is usually worse.
The rust is like an iceberg, you only see 10%.

Wow that is bad for the drivers side. Look under the sill plate and see how far it goes. Does the passenger door open?

What a shame - the trunks are basically perfect and original paint everywhere still.

Parts car basically?

Thanks for the tutorial gentlemen.

Yes parts car or about 5k in repair on the cheap end for what's likely shown on that side.

Can't believe you found one that bad in Socal.

You don't really know until you know. Take the rockers off, look up into the sail panels, probe with an ice pick or screwdriver. The typical rust points are the battery tray, rear trunk, front trunk weatherstripping channel, rear floorboards, interior sail panels, jack posts, and longs.

Good luck. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)

Fixable. Don't cut it up. Here by us we would fix it.. They just don't make these cars any more and values are going up

Good morning - thanks for the thoughts.

Oddly the battery box and trunks and floors are all solid, car was stored for 25 years. I can only guess it was driven in a way where that area got damp and rust just did it’s thing.

Let me get some more pictures up.

I agree. Pain in the ass to fix but in the 'long run' worth the price IMHO.
My car is a complete rust bucket but I have people walking up to my house offering me over twice what I paid for it a couple years ago...

With the manner of silt deposited in several of these images, I suspect this car has been flood damaged. After so many recent floods in many parts of the country I would expect to see some of these victims appear on the market in about any part of the country.
