Hello all, I'm a bit new to this. I had one of these in my 20's and and did a little stick welding fixing the hell hole.
I'm not sure how to approach this. Do I need to strip all this and go on rotisserie? Or is it feasible to cut and patch this from the top The driver side floor is bondo (or something). I'm not sure what is holding the seat mounts. The passenger side seat mount right is about broken loose. There's also holes past the transverse strut into the battery area. The longs seem ok from what I can see. Can I get the sill covers off without taking the fenders off? I was worried I drill out all the rivets to figure one hidden under the fender. Any good tool recommendations for rust removal? I was thinking maybe I can get away with with https://www.restoration-design.com/store/product/PP345BR and a https://www.restoration-design.com/store/PR...duct_Code=PP325 and the seat brakets and patch the holes.     |

Nothing a few thousand hours and many thousands of dollars can’t fix As I say Never buy a 914 without pulling the rockers |
