Hi,
I'm new to the forum and have never owned a 914 before. Recently I had a PPI done on a 1973 914 2.0. Inspector found little to no rust on entire car except for rust in the Right inner paneling (metal rot) picture attached. How big of an issue is this rust and how costly to repair? Thanks for your help.   |

Very smart of you to have someone inspect the car. BTW you have arrived at the best 914 site on the web. Guys here are very helpful. If you ask for someone to do a PPI for you I'm sure you'll get a few responses. Everyone here knows where the rust hides and how to find it. I don't know the experience of your inspector but it wouldn't hurt to get someone here with 914 experience to look at the car. As Mark mentioned, suspension console repair can get very pricey. You want to buy the best 914 you can afford and know what you've bought. 914 beauty is skin deep and rust goes right through the car. |
