I have found a 914 for sale in the area. So I called the guy.

Rust. The car has a hole below the battery about the size of a golf ball, But the rust was repaird. The hole was not patched. The car has had an under coat sprayed on it. The paint is newer dont now how old yet.

Motor 2.0 . The motor has had the top end rebuilt. The head has been ported and polished. It has a set of webber 44s, but they need to be rejeted. What damage would be done to the motor besides runnig hot if I dont get the carbs rejeted? How much should I spend on getting it rejeted? How reliable is this set up?

Some pics. I hope they work. http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/toy4runner19...album?.dir=5dcf

This is what it comes down to. To get the car I have to sell my reliable toyota 4runner. I have put a lot of money in to my truck. Right now I'm a student, but Im whith in bike distence from school ( I could loss a few pounds too). But it gets up to around 120 in the Phoenix area. I also live in an apartment so I don't have a place to work on it. I could do small things to the car. They have small garages at my apatments. How much do you spend on maintenance?

I now every car is diffrent. I now alot has to do with the previous owners. The guy wants $3,000 do you thinck its worth the risk?

The hole  is covered by the motor so you can see it.

huh? the top of the long is visible from within the engine compartement. it's even easier to see if the car has carbs ...

if there's a hole that is "covered" by the engine, that would be the side or underside of the long, which would mean it has already rusted through.

the long is kind of like the spine of your car. a rusted through long can make your car fold in half.
and trust me, that's not a good thing!
