Well, worked on the passenger's side of the engine compartment today. I removed the battery tray and started cleaning the hell hole. There's only a few small holes in the side wall and one small hole in the firewall.
Question: Should I cut out the side wall and replace with a patch panel, butt-welded or try to weld up the holes? BTW, the white showing through is a piece of paper taped on the back side so the holes would show up easier. Attached image(s) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) with all the above, cut it out and do it right.
On your other question, do you have to remove the paint. I look it this way. If you run a DA over it and it does not immediatley go down to bare metal then you probably have good adhesion. If this is the case then scuff it up, feather out the rough spots and put some good primer over it. If the paint looks flakey or chalky take it all down to bare metal and put a good self etching primer on it. Good luck. |
