Part price check

Price for a rear trunk lid with surface rust? Nothing is through the sheetmetal.

Thanks

The last one I bought turned out to have rust thru on the pinch weld area next the latch. I was suckered for 125.00 (gee I hate to admit that!)It was still nicer than the one that was on the car. Then I bought whole cars for $75.00 You just never know. How much do they want?

I can't say that you'll get much. I offered my lid up to the first reasonable offer and got no takers. The hard part is shipping. It's too big for UPS and too costly for trucking companies. I did manage to ship one Via Yellow freight at a cost of $50 and that was with a substantial comersial discount that the buyer recieved. Now, I'll be happy to just give away my stock lids one I get the 'glass pieces.

I may have found one for $75 and it's only 1.5 hrs away. That seems like it is in the price range.

The one I have now is all rusted out by the tunk latch. The foam inside the lid is all expanded and in bad shape.

I was also thinking about taking some of the support from the rusted one and adding it to the new one. I think it would strengthen the lid up alot. I have not done much with the idea yet, but maybe in the next couple of weeks well see.

Thanks guys

If you for a rust free lid in driving distance go get it. the repair is a pain in the axe.

Maybe I got lucky, but I bought a rust free front lid for $25.00 last year that the Pomona swap meet.

I’d give mine away to a good home if someone would come pick it up (my wife would be so proud to hear me say that). There just aren’t too many 914 owners here in Milwaukee, and I don’t want to hassle with shipping it.
