To make a long story short my car spent almost 4 years setting outside striped at the painters and was not done properly so found another guy who quickly pointed out I have a new problem. I thought I had seen a hell hole repair kit though now that I need one cant seem to find it.
I see Engman had one but guess he is no longer around. Any one making a good one that is available now?Attached Image (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

I don't know what your welding skills are?

or what your budget is?

but your rust may be beyond what a hell hole kit was designed for?

if you have a budget, meaning some cash, you may want to touch base with mcmark at http://www.originalcustoms.com/

and have him do the stuff that is beyond bolt-on?

he is about 60 miles from you.

can we see some more pics of this area and of the rocker below, and of the same areas on the drivers side?

jim

ps - here is a good look at a hell hole repair

The Engman kit was produced from my paper templates.

I'll try to dig them up and make them available.

You can see the original build thread here:

I'll put it to the guys in the site, would it be worth while to make the parts from templates, they would be water jetted, and the proper thickness,, I don't know what grade of steel to use, It will cost me $25 to buy the templates then figgure out the rest

After it was cleaned up it's not as bad as I thought, that is it's my first time after 5 914s (just drove them) and I thought it was much more serious. The worst of it is the engine tray and surrounding metal not the inner longitudinal!
Im happy to say I am actually learning about the car I've loved for so long though I think Im going to change my name to Oldenbroke! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

I did some similar work although my longs just had minor surface rust. Wire brushed that area well with cop brush on a 4.5" angle grinder, then coated stuff with Locktite "Extend". (I've had good results with that stuff) I had to buy a rear trunk panel as that was my major rust area, had enough material left over to cut patch panels for the hell hole area. i cut two panels from cardboard templates, the first one bent up along firewall and also around on side under battery tray panel. After welding this in i fitted another piece to the engine shelf and welded it in. i put a drain hole in the second panel before fitting it in. Wish i had TIG, had to use my old oxy/acetylene method.
After priming,i used some filled epoxy to smooth things out and fill that gap shown.

He doesn't really advertise it, but Brad Mayeur has some frame stuff still available on a limited basis. He's 914ltd on the site.
