It seemed like it was going to take forever to make some progress on my rust repair. After spending the entire winter locating parts, grinding, cuting, painting, and learning to weld, I was finally ready to take the plunge....

Also thanks to everyone on the board, I would have never had enough confidence to tackle this without this site!!!

BTW: I must be getting addicted to the "914 lifestyle" as I had withdrawal when the site was down. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif)

Looks great, keep the pictures coming. I'm getting ready to start cutting some rust out of mine and these pictures help me to see what I may be getting into. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif)

These cables in the heater tubes are for a front trunk mounted battery and some aux gauges. I am moving them to the center tunnel when I replace the rear floorpan.

You don't need a floor pan to run the engine!!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)


Seriously, the work looks great. It's good to see another one NOT get crushed or shredded due to rust!

did you spray plenty of "metal-ready" inside that long before you closed it up?
looked like there was quite some surface rust in there.
i'd hate to see it rust from the inside out again ...

nice work!
