Hi Folks. Some of ya'll may already know me as the 914 guy in San Diego that welds stuff. While I do build engines, gear boxes and paint, I really love cutting, grinding and welding...but I don’t just weld up some holes. The 914 chassis is like an onion. It has many layers of "shaped" metal, like the skin of an onion. The shapes and layering add a lot of strength. Flat metal patches only “look” better. To do it right you must make the hole even bigger untill you land on clean metal, then I passivate the rust inside. You don’t want it to come back in a year! There are chemicals and proceedures I have developed to remove most of the cancer from within.
I have also recognized a need for “less correct” but structurally sound solutions to 914 chassis rot. With this in mind, I have developed some less expensive solutions as long as you don’t mind me doing a little Franken-welding on your Porsche. I use tube steel in places instead of the more time consuming shaped layer technique. It still gets plates over the top with gazillions of plug welds to join it all to the core.
