This is going to be my first time trying to repair rust on a 914, so hoping to get lots of help and advise as I try to tackle this job. I'll keep this thread updated with photos and questions as I move along.
Here's the areas that I'm going to look into/repair. I realize the visible exterior rust is probably only the tip of the iceberg, so I'm preparing myself mentally for the worst. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) This is the passenger side where the rear floor pan meets the rocker area. Someone thought they were doing good by putting a crappy spot welded patch over who knows what. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) (IMG:http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a125/philtheskipper/914%20repair/rust003_700x525.jpg) Here's the same area viewed from the back. Notice the rust extends around the donut as well. (IMG:http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a125/philtheskipper/914%20repair/rust004_700x525.jpg) The driver side looks better but there is one bad area with a hole. Similar location as the other side but the donut section is all good. (IMG:http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a125/philtheskipper/914%20repair/rust006_700x525.jpg) (IMG:http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a125/philtheskipper/914%20repair/rust007_700x525.jpg) Current questions.... Are there reproduction panels that will replace these areas? I thought maybe floor pans would extend all the way to the rocker, but looking at the catalogs it seems they stop right in the middle where my rust is. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Am I going to have to custom make patch panels? I see the donut triangle is available for that section. I'm going to start by removing my interior and then the rocker covers. I'll then post more pics of what I find. Thanks in advance to all who help me out along the way! |

QUOTE but don't assume you can get everything you need He's right you may have to source some parts from dead teeners. When I said QUOTE This Guy should have just about everything you will need to restore your teener. I thought that was clear...My Bad. Say Wes, which part are you talking about? Is it shown here? http://www.autoatlanta.com/model/porsche-9...arts/801-10.htm |
