While I'm waiting for a drivers long and the weather to break again in PDX to continue on my Rustoration project.
I'll move on to the couple winter projects I had planned on my White car.  It was restored back in the early nineties. For the most part a fairly good job. Projects: 1. Engine lid hinge 2. Front trunk seal. Seeing a little rust by the latch. 3. JWest flasher relay 4. Updated fuse panel. |

The engine lid hinge is in another thread.
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=199016 But after taking out the front seal I found something odd with the seal channel on the right fender.  Sorry a little grainy. The HTC phone and the flash have issues. I'll get a new and better picture posted tonight. But what you see is a double wall. They must have patched over some rust I assume. Has anyone seen this before?  The spot by the latch is SOP. What I thought I would find. A little OSPO and some hand brushed in Rustoleum. Should be good to go on that spot. |

That is how the fender is attached...spot welded together , vertical plane..
and you have rust between the inner wheel house and fender. i have seen where a shopdoesnt remove the whole fenbder flange and welds on another fender , making it 3 layers. |

Its the thickest of all six fenders. I'll have to ponder my approach. I don't plan to restore this car for another 5-6 years. But I want to stop the damage from getting worse. |
