914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Panel replacement

Posted by: Verruckt May 12 2005, 04:23 PM

I'm replacing my floorpans, as well as the piece that goes along the firewall on the interior, stretching between the longs. I have drilled out all of the spotwelds that I have seen. I have taken my airchisel and physically seperated the piece from the firewall, but it seems stuck in the middle. This piece that that I call a "ledge" where the backpad connects, are there more spotwelds on the horizontal part of this that need to be drilled out??? I have stripped the paint, but don't see any. WTF???

yes ...

it has two round "recesses" (for the lack of a better word) that match 2 similar "recesses" on the backside of the firewall.
those are spotwelded together in the center ...

Awesome!

Ok, so becuase that piece in the center is sort of blocking my drill (can't get a straight so that my spotweld drill is square along that flat... Should I just get myself a cutoff wheel and start piecing it out ? I guess I would have some better access to it once the majority was out. Or is there some other bracing in there that I need to be careful of???

Sorry, never ever been into a 914 this deep...

OH!!!

Ok. Well, let me go drill those out. I was actually thinking there may be some spotwelds along this flat...

What a bitch!!! There were only about 20 more spotwelds besides the 4 in each one of those round recesses
