Rust-busters!, who ya gonna call? Options

[rjames]

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!

rjames,

I can relate to what your asking. I too, have got a rusty teener. I do plan on buying a mig welder myself soon, and at some point will be joining the ranks of the bent around (and in way to many ways I'm not sure this body is ready to fathom yet), group. Everything is still up in the air for me yet, but, I can sure relate. I do want to make it work however! So, if you get anything going here regarding help, or a get together of any kind, for this, I would love to come take part, and a looky-peeky, and offer any assistance I can.
