Hello!
I’m new here been lurking for like a year. Finally got a 914. Thought I did it somewhat right. But the car has hell hole rust. Long story short a, fresh battery tray had been screwed in and hell hole issue was not visible in any of the pics even the ones from under battery tray because some putty or something had been kinda smooshed over it and it was very dirty..anyway I’m dumb I had a local friend of a friend look at car and take pics of usual areas but I missed it and so did he. Owner also totally lied about stuff but that’s a different story. Anyway, car is sadly mine now and I am wondering if it’s ok to drive it like this for a while? I treated rust with Krud Kutter rust remover and I’m gonna primer it to stop more rust in the VISIBLE areas. I’m gonna see about getting it fixed but can I drive it for the summer you think? Then get it fixed when it starts raining? The hole on the left closest to the engine is what I discovered. The holes on the bottom and right (exterior side) are what I made with a screwdriver and wire wheel. Those did not exist until I started poking at it. Most of the metal seems pretty solid except those spots at the bottom. Thanks!  |
