What is the point where a car should be passed up to look for a better car? I was rust hunting today and hit a few areas I didn't want to see. It's hard to take pictures of, but where do you cut your losses? Mostly/mainly the hell hole area, right rocker/jackstand areas. Disappointing, but doable. Who wants to weld it for me?

Throw some pictures up if you can.

I'm out of town the next few days. Maybe my fiance will pull the motor and weld it up for me while I'm gone.

Pretty much all unrestored 914's have rust.....even those in California.

That being said, there are more solid examples to choose from on the West Coast than the East Coast.

What kind of rust did you see? True surface rust or real rust...the nasty, chunky, "holey" kind?

Mostly on the right side, I don't even want to take the rocker off. I think it could be the "holy schitt" kind.

Does it look like this?
