I just finished up the rust repair on a car for a member. Thought ya'll might like to see. This car had a rusted out motor mount. I've seen rust behind the motor mounts on both six cylinder conversions where we removed the 4 cylinder mounts. I'm pretty sure that a good number of cars have rust behind the mounts. Not a big deal usually but this car the rust had come through the mount and left a gaping hole. So it had to go.
Here is the area once the engine shelf and the motor mount had been removed. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/members/markd/dmenche914/dmenche914-Images/0.jpg) There were three areas that needed attention on this car. Nice clean cuts are the key to a nice repair. Rust converter was applied liberally and then weld through primer. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/members/markd/dmenche914/dmenche914-Images/5.jpg) Zap Zap Zap. Everything is in place. Used a mount bar to make sure the mount went in the right place. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/members/markd/dmenche914/dmenche914-Images/12.jpg) Now comes the battery tray. This baby is welded in TIGHT! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/members/markd/dmenche914/dmenche914-Images/13.jpg) And finally comes paint!!! The car already had pretty nice paint, so we just did the affected area. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/members/markd/dmenche914/dmenche914-Images/15.jpg) Another car DONE!

I visited Mark, today in Napa to help continue the restoration project of my car. The dash was removed, to send to Dr. Evil for some recovering, other parts removed for touch up cleaning. This project is really coming along, should be painted its original Zambezi later this week, then all the new seals get installed, Mark will have rebuilt the brake system, installed new clutch and resealed the engine and tranny. I have attached some photos of how it looks today, I'll repost pics after paint and as the restoration goes along. Mark is a 914 wizard, Brandon is a Rembrandt with a spray gun! I am very excited about getting this car on the road. I also rode in Mark's car, 2056, he built, torque on demand! head snap in the headrest, I haven't had that in a 914 in quite a while.
