Porsche 914 and the Search and Repair of Rust

In this video, we take a Porsche 914 that was presumed to be rust free and repair the rust we find. I show how rust repairs can be made on the longitudinal members, jack posts, and door sills. More to come in the next video.

Hello Thomas! I'm thrilled to find this video and see the restoration you did on that blue 2.0 I sold you all those years ago. Marvelous! Building a 914 was going to be my next big project until my wife and I decided to move to Mexico. So...I had to liquidate. Really great to see that car running!

Hi Jim! Nice to hear from you again. Yes, I just knew that car had potential. I still see Randy from time to time. Any 914's running around in Mexico?

Like your calm and gentle approach and the rabbit. Thanks Andy (France)

Hello Thomas Otten,
First let me introduce myself, I am Rolf M.Mol. Also a member of the Otten family, haha.
You encourage me to pick up my old love again. I've had a 914 on the bridge for years (33) and every now and then I look at it.
The body isn't in that bad shape, fortunately.
If we keep in touch, that will encourage me to roll up my sleeves.
Kind regards,
Rolf M.Mol
The Netherlands.

Hallo Rolf, Vielen Dank. Keep in touch!

Wow you have awesome skills. Always wanted one, but think you have effectively scared me off that notion! Best regards...subscribed.

Lieber Herr Otten, Ihre Videos sind super und haben mir in der Vergangenheit viele Fragen beantwortet die von anderen Fachleuten uebergangen worden waren (how do you straighten those lights?). Meine Grossmutter ist auch aus Bremen, hat aber die meiste Zeit in Peru gelebt. Ich suche gerade einen 914 der nicht zu teuer ist und habe nach vielen Videos wenig gesehen was mir eine einfachen Tip gibt, um festzustellen ob der bodyframe gerade ist. Was ich fand ist entweder die einseitig erhoehte Ecke der Kofferaumdeckels (in einem Ihrer videos), oder der ungleiche Ueberhang des Targadaches. I am thankful for any thoughts. Froehliches neues Jahr, Gruesse an Super, wir haben auch einen Hasen (Janet), Ihr Alexander (aus Oregon)

That entire longitudinal is in need of replacement.

@@Tacman556 the longitudinals were in good shape.
