I have a 75 2.0, that seems to be in decent shape (both structurally and mechanically), however now that I've had the car for 5 months I'm really starting to look at it closely and can see a dime sized hole on the sidewall next
to where the battery sits. (I know, no surprise) and am now wanting to get rust areas taken care of ASAP so the car lasts (and so that I can work on fun stuff like the interior and stopping that oil leak (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) ) I've been working on the engine myself, but have no experience in welding or rust repair, and so I'm looking for someone in the greater seattle area (I will happily to drive a couple hours if need be) who can help me with this. A bit of $ and undying gratitude (and a half-rack or 2 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif) ) would of course be provided. I'm looking to learn about the process as well, and hope to find another 914 owner who really cares about these cars and who is really familliar with making these kind of repairs. Any takers or people that y'all could point me to? Much appreciated! |

there is a reason that area is called the hell hole.
It is a right of passage to do that work yourself... You need to buy a mig welder and learn how to weld. Once you are in there working...you will learn the real reason its called the hell hole... This might be why you have not seen anyone volunteer... It is a shitty place to work... Rich |
