One of the POs of my 914 decided to stick weld the passenger side floor pan in, it looks like crap. The inner and outer firewall were also fixed with this method, except that rust was cut out, and a shitty scab plate was welded over the vacancy. The hell hole received similar treatment. Since part of the floor pan in my car has to be pulled away to fix the inner rocker, I was thinking about taking the entire floor pan out at the same time. Then I got to thinking that with the hols in the long and rockers, and no floor pan, my car might just collapse. What do you all think?

If you brace the doors (top and bottom) and use about 8 jackstands (4 at each end). You should be ok. Do one side at a time.
Bracing the door top and bottom will stop the car from spreading either way and the extra jack stands will insure there is no movement. |
