welcome! the brain trust here will definitely help. Looks like you'll need to replace some metal. Any other rust? How are the longs?

where in oregon? and

There are lots of oregones out there
More pics please!

Welcome!
I'm new here but a true 914 liver

That's all superficial and all it needs Is to be flapper wheeled and repainted.

Show us your battery tray. Pull your rocker covers and show us your longs. Take a pic of the trailing portion of your rear trunk. Take a good look at your engine tray around the gasket that fits in the channel.

but you need to look deeper!

Welcome. It looks like a neat color car.

Ditto ............ Where abouts are you ?

After a closer look ............

WELCOME!!!

Let the madness start!!!!!

Take some time to inspect the entire car and make a list of the replacement panels you might need so you can place one order. Better to know exactly what rust you have, hopefully it is just the front trunk floor.

Can we see the whole car?

nice color...

and more

Wow great response. Albany Oregon. I found this in Christmas Valley Oregon 60 k miles and im 3rd owner. I have been a mech for 35 years this is my first ground up restore.Click to view attachment Click to view attachment I will get better pics from here on out. Restoration web site is great thanks

cary - good eye!
imapayne - I'll bet you have quite a bit more hidden rust than what you see in the spare tire well.


interestingly, I have a green 914 in similar state of disassembly, on an identical blue/yellow two post lift.

A wealth of knowledge and help here!

Looks like the left front corner was hit.
scrape up the tar at the back of the floor pan, under the seat.
Look at the back of the trunk.
Look under the battery tray.
Pull the rocker panels that cover the longs.
Check under the car, especially the right rear suspension console.

You will find more rust.

Someone either drove it hard and put it away wet or its a 160-260K car.

Looks like Palma Metaluc Green. Congrats on the purchase. My shop is in Hillsboro so not far if you need any parts.
Hope you can make it to WCR. It will be fun.
