Hi,
Helping my son with his 914 project. We have a lot of questions but for starters , we could use suggestions on repairing the rust inside of the right motor mount( pictured). The plan is to make it safe and get it on the road. With that in mind how would you approach this spot. thanks for any help Kelly  |

If you are using a mig with gas esab easygrind is a lot easier to grind down and matches the alloy of the original metal. It's not cheap about 55.00 for 10 lbs. but the savings in time and grinding wheels and sanding disk will make up for it. It's what body shops use on sheetmetal and thats all a 914 has is sheetmetal in the unibody.

Im pretty new to the mig welding so any hint or suggestion helps. The spool that came with the welder is about spent so we will look into the easygrind. Thanks Any body use a drill doctor? Im going to be drilling alot of spotwelds in the comming weeks and can probably justify some sort of bit sharpener. Any suggestions? thanks, Kelly |
