914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Trunk Replacement

Posted by: kwlane Mar 18 2012, 11:00 PM

Got back from vacation couple of days ago so started to work on the '76 yellow roller I bought about a month ago. The car was Nepal Orange as orignal color so at some point need to decide if want to keep it yellow or go back to original color. However first thing to do was dive in and replace the trunk. Cut out worst and have back end of another car to use for replacement metal. Also ordered a replacement rear floor as that is pretty well rusted out as well. Hellhole will be next, needs some clean up and then major rust issues addressed.

After being in Hawaii for a couple of weeks it sure is cold in my Washington State driveway!

Got a back end of a yellow car with the roller (thanks Jeff) to use for replacement of the rusted out trunk of the yellow roller. Cleaned up the metal and primed it with weldtru primer in area to be cut and regular primer in center. After work today made a template to use to cut out the section that will be welded into the roller car. Hope to cut out section later this week.
