This afternoon, I spent more time going through the car at a leisurly pace - looking for any hidden "gotcha's".Porsche 914's are notorious for having rust problems - especially in the area known as the "hell hole" (which is the area directly underneath and including the battery tray). Other easy to inspect areas where rust is typically found is in the front and rear trunks and the floor pans.
Closer inspection of this car revealed NO structural rust issues. Although I haven't had the rocker panels off the car yet, the jack holes look good as does the area around the pedal cluster.
The worst part of the body I have found, so far, is the battery tray - which is suffering only from very mild surface rust. This area, I will treat with POR-15 or a comperable product.
Oh yea, there is a broken bracket on the right-rear trunk lid. Since I don't yet trust myself with a welding torch, I'll need professional help getting that fixed.
