As I'm getting closer to putting some new metal on my restoration project.
I've begun to wonder what folks do to the drilled out parts. Do you weld in the entire hole? Which would make a huge weld. Which would make the next restoration (20 years from now) really tough. Our do you weld in then hole flush. Then drill a smaller hole to weld in. What's the best practice?  |

Going to try ..............
Nothing puts a smile on my face like driving my 914(s). I've even pondered putting a Webasto heater in it for defrosting in the wet and cold. There's a couple companies that make a more refined unit now. Time will tell. I just don't really like new cars. They don't have a soul. Plus in Oregon we get inches of rain. But no downpours like you guys get. I call it hanging wet. It just keeps coming day after day. I do have the Powerstroke if it gets too bad. |
