Hey Guys,
My dad and I are doing a Rustoration on a 914 2L.
Basically the Drivers floor / passenger rear / passenger firewall / trunk / battery tray.
The Longs look good.... we think.

Here is my question,
On the hellhole, how much pitting is ok?
What should i do for this?

That looks about like what mine was. I used the screw driver and hammer trick and managed to get the screw driver to break through in 2 spots at the edge of the inner fender. I cut mine out just because it seemed to be the right thing to do. When I did cut it out the underside looked really good actually. There was only discolouration but no pitting. But heck, its not like it takes long to cut out a small chunk of the top of the frame rail and replace it. If the door gaps havent been affected at all and there is nothing else going on that would affect the structural integrity you may not even have to brace the door openings. I know i didnt have to in mine anyways. If you have everything ready, to cut that out, fab a new piece and weld it in was an afternoon job for me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)
