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...

We tend to get together for breakfast (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/Yack.gif) and a drive (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) 4 or 5 times a year here in the NW. Mainly in the summer. Be sure to save time in July for the WCC-06 in Portland. That is always a large turnout.

What part of Seattle do you live in? Eddy
