The inside-the-longs pictures you posted looked pretty good to me. Surface rust only. Shop vac out the flakes, and spray them down good with Metal Ready or coat with Naval Jelly. Weld everything closed again and you should be good.
I would be willing to bet that MOST (maybe 80% or more of the 914s on the road) have rust in the longs exactly like yours or worse. The only way to really get it is by cutting and welding (overkill) or dipping the car (which can lead to other issues). Zach |

Here are a few pics of the inside of my longs i was able to take by putting a little camera into the hell hole. I used an internal frame coating spray sold by (Eastwood Internal Frame Coating) which really does a good job. Check out my before and after pics!.
Ed  This is the hole I cut out to repair. I took picture from within this hole.     |

I've been slow in the progress but here are a few of the latest pics of my project.
 I'm gong to begin working on installing the stiffening kit this weekend so I've begun to remove the undercoating, paint, primer, goop, dirt, etc... This is a dirty, messy job. Although flares won't be installed for a bit I measured and cut out the opening in order to make it easier to work.  New jack post.  Clean up the front side of the long.  New floorboards are in along with the Engman kit. Stay tuned for more. ED |

QUOTE(EdArango @ Mar 22 2011, 11:54 AM)  Hey Ed, several people on here have had problems with those ratchet-type jackstands letting go & dropping the car on them - someone on here broke their nose! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Also those 4x4s can get bumped easily & it rolls off the stands, not to mention they block part of the underbody you're working on & welding, since they're in the way & flammable! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) For your own safety, I'd strongly suggest that you go online & Google for a good price on hi-lift screw or pin-style jackstands, then get the best priced ones for the height you want (their weight capacity will well exceed even a complete 914-6). They go up to 3' & some higher from what I've seen online. We don't want to see you looking like a flat-faced Pug dog! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) .... & it will also be easier to work without the 4x4's on there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Camping World also sells a set of 4 screw-type trailer-stabilizer 6000# (3 ton each) jackstands which go 11" - 17" ht. for about $40 for the set of 4, but I don't know if these will work with the 914s - http://www.campingworld.com/shopping/item/...s-set-of-4/4205 |

I've had others tell me that I might want to use a different type of jackstands. I will see if I can get something this weekend. |
