Help me with my Mid-Life crisis

[plopswagon]

I am fixin' to start thinking about a 914. I was looking for some advice on what to look for when looking at 914s. Rust areas, do-hickys notorious for breaking and are difficult or impossible to replace. Stuff like that.

Thanks

p.s. I am in texas so rust isn't usually an issue...

First let me say that rust is always a problem on a 914. Specificaly under the battery tray and the longitudanuls ( look under the rocker panels)

For the best info on the 914 check out 914club.com, great site and great people. Plenty of Texans there that I'm sure would help you inspect a prospective car.

They are blast to drive, I highly recommend it.
