Now that I have the 2.0 running adequately its time to tackle the rust issues...
When I first looked this car over I was so excited about getting it I didn't look as thoroughly as I should have. The cost of excitement I suppose... Although what I am about to show you isn't nearly as bad as some of the amazing restorations I have seen on this site, I still feel it is necessary to show you what I am dealing with! My hopes are that I can be pointed in the right direction. I am partially embarrassed to even show these pictures as the rot is minimal by comparison to what I've seen some members work with... here goes nothing... all the interior removed: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i98.photobucket.com-13631-1432590830.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i98.photobucket.com-13631-1432590831.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i98.photobucket.com-13631-1432590831.3.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i98.photobucket.com-13631-1432590831.4.jpg) seat mount is completely gone: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i98.photobucket.com-13631-1432590832.5.jpg) Just behind the passenger seat... directly over the jack mount area: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i98.photobucket.com-13631-1432590832.6.jpg) Same area as from the previous pictures only look from under: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i98.photobucket.com-13631-1432591623.1.jpg) nearly completely separated from the top of the tunnel: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i98.photobucket.com-13631-1432590832.7.jpg) Nemi |
