There are two types of Porsche owners:
1. Those whose cars have rust. 2. Those who haven't find the rust on thier cars. I am now offically part of RUST club. I completed the rotisserie for my '69 912 and before bolting it all up, I decided to weld up the battery box that I cut off for the Carrera cooler. While doing so, I was removing some of the paint around the edges when the metal starting getting weak and broke through...the rust showed its ugly face. Poking away for a bit showed that Porsche used a larger piece of steel to reinforce the front bumber and in doing so they left a space between the two pieces of sheetmetal...a great place start rusting. I am going to cut away more of the metal tonight and see how far the rabbit hole goes. Looks like I am going to be doing some rust repair before I get it up on the rotessire since that is where I mounted the rotesserie.

Hi Ron -
I wouldnt worry about that too much. Just make sure you don't put carbs on the car, it will devalue it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |

Are you joining the 12-step program? My guess is no since one of the steps involves a large vat of acid.
"Lord, please grant me the courage to fix the rust I encounter; the serenity to accept the rust I cannot reach; and the wisdom to to know when to stop trying." |
