First off, some info. 1970 914-6 Chassis. Acid dipped. Left outside last winter (not by me). Getting a 993 non-VarioRam 3.6, Wevo 915, GT Flares, all the fun bits.
And the first order of business is sorting out the chassis. Starting with the rear trunk. These are some freaky looking reinforcement plates poorly welded in. I'm guessing they were for a rear sway bar. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pinch.gif) Attached image(s) |

ok, now i'm getting in the middle of this as well ... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
here's my response to "you know who": ============================================ yes, there certainly is a problem now and we have been pondering on how to fix it. the initial idea was to have it dipped again, but the owner doesn't want to spent the money. there is rust coming out of all the seams now because that's where the primer didn't get in very well but the rain water could. i just want to make clear that this is *not* the leftover acid seeping out of the cracks, the whole car was soaked in a neutralizing bath for a day after the dipping. our best bet at this point is to soak all the seams in Metal-Ready for a few days ... ============================================ (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif) Andy |
