I'm new to the group. Just purchased a near original straight 74 2.0. no dings, no dents, the original fi and ac. BUT..rust in the battery tray area and below, on down to the inner rocker and beyond. Pictures attached. I've see the Restoration Hw and Pelican offering for replacement steel panels. The real question I have - is it worth fixing? My intent is to buy a welder and learn how to work it. I'm not afraid to cut into it and replace whole panels, just questioning if the result will be sound. Then I still have to replace ll the rubber and probably repaint. I know...I probably should have passed and bought a better one, but this was a deal and is still better than the 914 I owned in college - and then I didn't have two nickels to spend to fix it. Taking any and all comments. Thanks! Tim    |
