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??? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

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 ... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) Andy |

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... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) |

OH!!! Ok. Well, let me go drill those out. I was actually thinking there may be some spotwelds along this flat... (IMG:http://www.verruckt.org/pics/Picture57.jpg) |

What a bitch!!! There were only about 20 more spotwelds besides the 4 in each one of those round recesses (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)
