How should I treat the rust on the inside of the foot well. this area is one of those never exposed areas that hadn't been treated by the factory. Rust doesn't look bad and I probably can't do anything but treat it with some sort of rust inhibitor or encapsulator.
Don't worry about the holes I will get those all cleaned up and oval-ed out. Should those holes be chamfered to limit possible cracks? Attached thumbnail(s)

I've used the eastwood internal frame paint on another project, and intended to use it on the center tunnel of the 914.... but do you guys feel the flex tube used for installation is long enough to thoroughly coat the inside of the tunnel?
Also, what method is recommended for getting the internals of the tunnel/longs evenly and thoroughly coated w/ phosphoric acid ? The 3m cavity wax is intriguing ... Is the a flexible applicator for it too? |

Is the a flexible applicator for it too? Plenty of holes in the tunnel to access everything with the wand that comes with the Eastwood coating. For the cavity wax, you buy a separate wand kit that has wands with 3 different lengths. I haven't found a cavity on a 914 yet that couldn't be reached. My guess is the Eastwood stuff alone is fine, but I haven't found any long term test results on it yet whereas I have personal experience with the wax. I sprayed a crappy repair on one of the long jackp points 30 years ago with cavity wax and then let the car sit outside in the elements until a couple years ago when I started my resto. When I opened the longs, the wax was still tacky with no rust under it. Everything else was full of rot. I was sold! Here's a good video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfisO8h8vYY |
