Any suggestions from you Seattle guys what shop could take a long hard look and give me an estimate on my hell hole rust and the like?
I would love to buy a welder and learn but I am in an apartment and my garage is just big enough for tool chest, air compressor, car and me. Thanks guys (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) |

Can't recommend anyone, I did mine myself...It still looks like Hell, but at least it's not rusted anymore...
You can rent the welder at Bunce or United Rentals...but you got to pull the engine... 2-OH! |

Fordhal does it I think. They are not cheap but call them. In Remond under Fordahl Motorsports. They do have a web page.
I could do it but I have no time and Rich D is first in line for some welding help. He has been waiting 6 months. That motor has to come out or else Mini me has to do it. Geoff |

Motor doesnt have to come out. Just pull the tin.
I cant think of anyone up there that would take on the job. I'd do it for you, but the shipping costs back and forth would end up running what a new welder would cost you. B |

You are younger than me Brad. I can't lay across a motor and cut out the inner wheelhouse and do the long repairs. I have to squat in the engine bay to do it.

If you could bring the car down to Portland Oregon, Jim Nichols of German Metal Works would be my recommendation.
