Purchased my first 914 a few weeks ago. I found some rust while looking it over but after taking off the soundproofing and really getting a better look, i found a good deal more rust than I expected. Looking for suggestions how to attack this. I have a mig and can weld a little. Was planning on building a rotisserie to do the work. If I had a better idea of how much rust I was looking at I probably would have passed on the car.
Would appreciate your suggestions as to how to plan and go about the work. How tough is it to do the entire rear floorpan on a unibody? The driver's long has a patch that is solid but I'm not sure what it is covering up. I can guess it's not too good. On the positive side I found over six dollars in change, mostly undre the e-brake. Thanks in advance. Attached image(s) |

Replacing the pans isn't too hard really, just drill out all the spot welds and remove the pieces. Some pieces you will have to reuse or make so save them. The pans are readily available from Restoration Designs.
The Long should be repaired at the same time but how are the trunks? If they are rusty then I would strip the car. If not then just replace the pans and repair the longs. Geoff (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) |
