It's time for my first rust repair project.
Thankfully I got lucky when I got lucky when I bought my car, it doesn't have a lot of rust, just a couple of spots. I am going to tackle the worst first so I can get the refreshed 2.0 in. Here is a photo of the spot. It is foward of the batt. tray and right in the lower front corner of the engine bay. I removed a funky metal patch that the previous owner had riveted and thrown some kind of gunk on to seal it up, How much more should I cut away? and then ...

Never and I can not say NEVER enough start to work on one of these things. You will get sucked into a never ending vortex of while Im in there...... close the lid and drive and enjoy the car. Dont ask how we all know. The stories about oh yea I did that on mine ask if they got it back on the road yet or what they are doing to it now (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif) I started with a simple finish up on some one eleses car. Now it sits off to the side while I try to get the engine swap ready, I have a 928 Im parting out, and another 14 outside paitintly waiting its turn in the vortex.
