yep
it is really sitting on only 3 stands, the one you marked is not touching. I put my jacks under the longs last night when I was popping ball joints, etc.

plan is,
clean surface rust
Touch up paint (this is all inside and underneath)
Put front suspension back on
Put front end back on ramps

then pull motor and work on bake end stuff.

Very good looking undersides.
That'll be a muchhhhh easier fix than a lot of us around here have been used to.

Took my body saw to the left jack post support. I plan to replace bottom half only.

If I clean this up, Por15 and weld on the new piece I think it will last another 30 years (no winters and little to not rain days)

What do you all think?

Will,
Before anybody makes any comments on your jackposts, the metal needs to be ground clean before a true and accurate conclusion can be made....
Just my .0002...

Thanks for the pictures. This is exactly where I was about 1 year ago. Pulled a running 914 into the garage and began the same process. Problem was I couldn't stop. Now I have just (almost exactly one year later) brought the media blasted and primed tub home to continue the effort. I really want to finish the body and get the suspension back on the car this winter. This means installing the brake lines, fuel lines and wiring harness first. If you are going to keep the car on jack stands for long, I recommend 2x8s as they provide a great deal more support and height. I ran them completely across the the car at three points. Keep em coming. I feel like we are comrades in this effort. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) My torsion bars looked just like yours, except almost no grease.

Plan is to get the jack post rust in check.

Clean up treat and prep surface rust. cover in blue

then all mechanical - back to near new (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif)

That will give me time to get back to full chassie restoration in a year or two.


Lynne is working tomorrow night, I plan to spend whatever it takes to get the one jack post ready. I'll get you those bare metal photos tomorrow.

Anyone want to come and help? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Looks great Will! I see mostly surface rust, easy fixes. Like most have already said, get rid of the rust and poke with a screw driver to make sure things are solid. If you are solid, most of it can probably just be cleaned up and painted. POR-15 rocks. I bought a quart and didn't use all of it. If you put the lid back on, use a plastic bag (Keeps lid from sticking to can) and stick it in the fridge. It will last longer. I didn't do that to mine. Now I can't get the can open!

Well
Dug into left jack point today. metal is layered there??? looks like long goes behind the rear sub-frame???

Top layer is rusted through in spots. Clean solid metal all the way around where the jack post support was spot welded to the subframe.

Surface rust cleaned up well under the long/subframe.

If I weld this 1/2 post support in, will that be good enough? What is top layer here, the rear sub-frame? what bits would I need to patch in clean metal here??

Take a look at these pictures...
