I thought I had seen it all with the many 914s I’ve worked on over the years but this one surprised even me and I thought I’d share……

I’ve certainly used many sqeegies in my years but never as a replacement panel…LOL. I guess I’ve been using them all wrong! They had this covering a rust hole in the firewall and had covered it with seem sealer to where it looked like a patch had been welded in and sealed.

I’ve since repaired it with a real 18ga patch (silly me!

Maybe that was just planning ahead for a future bondo job.

Kind of makes you wonder what this is. Hopefully it's steel.

Yeah, it’s steel. This was the only really shady repair I’ve found other than a ton of necessary bondo that I’ve removed.
