Exactly, I would prefer to have nothing done as have some less than standard repairs completed. Having the shell stripped/blasted is the ONLY was to really know what you are dealing with.

OP, as far as I recall no matter what you are buying it's always "buyer beware" always

After emailing Jeff Gamroth on 2/15 and 2/25, still no response. Just emailed again …


Maybe he has no interest in this thread?

Rufus,

I’m trying not to take this post the wrong way but it seems that you’re questioning the legitimacy of Ben’s response.

Giving the benefit of the doubt, the drain hole(s) is/are on OEM floorpans. There are several of these on the pan. You will not find them in the aftermarket reproduction pans.

Not sure I’ve ever seen a photo of 914 dip tanks for phosphate / degrease but you get the idea.

the seam sealer on those areas can be thick and was placed on all the seams like the round holes like in the floor pan, and as ben said then it looks like orignal seam sealer and then the undercoating over the top of it. sometimes that would develop a gap or separation as it aged and then moisture made its way behind it and you find surface rust under or along it, i did on my floor in a couple spots. My hell hole had big gobs of it along the fire wall , at first i thought it was a bad repaor or caulk by someone but as i cleaned up the area a piece broke loose and i discovered this was original to car but had some layers of repaint and caked on under coating that was sprayed on by dealer! so even though my floor was bad in some spots from leaking windows letting water get in and rust out the pan uder driver seat, my hell hole was actually rust free!. This goes back af few years ago to when i was cleaning it up to get the floors repaired and have the car prepped for paint.
Like me when i really dug in and looked i found some stuff, that would not be found with superficial inspection. you will find more, no fault of anyone, just bite the bullet and get it done,

I had a similar experience. IMO, it's time to just enjoy the new car & the project(s) this includes. I spent hundreds of hours getting mine cleaned up & it only had 38K miles on it. Whatever...

Ok just a suggestion here. If you’re selling it for the 98k I would suggest you at the very least make it drivable. Put the fuel system back in and make it turn key.

As is … NOT negotiable, for ANY of the 4 cars I’m selling!

The way things have unexpectedly gone south with ‘1482, especially wrt photos in posts #313 and #314, leave me no choice. I was serious throughout; this was always about time, not money.

Sorry

That’s what makes it so funny. At least to me.
