it's not much, and it's mostly surface rust on the long, the jack post brace is worse... but the long is solid...

I'm thinking: grind/brush off all the rust and then ospho(or metal ready) and por-15

is that good enough for solid metal? or should I put a plate over it after that as an extra brace?

let me know what you think... btw, when I took the rocker off, no less than a pound of DIRT fell out!! I know to clean this spot, but evidently the last guy forgot (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

those stupid little drain holes on the bottom of the jack reciever plate are useless. have a light touch when you're wire wheeling the rust off. hopefully you won't go through the existing metal. i used Mar-hyde to treat the rust on my recent trunk work, primer and paint. it's very easy to work with and a damn sight cheaper that the por-15.

cool, where can you get mar-hyde?

I've used ospho istead of metal ready before...

the rust is a very thin layer... I attacked it with an ice-pick(broken flat-head screwdriver) and it was solid...

That doesn't look too bad. I have certainly seen worse. I agree with Kevin. If you can't weld up new stuff, be gentle with wire wheel, treat it and paint it something fierce. Then just don't use your jack ports, ever. Matter of fact, I can think of one 914 in 18 years that I have owned over 25 of them that I have ever used the factory jack on any of them. Even my first one, I knew better. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

If it were up to me, I would just remove them. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sawzall-smiley.gif)

i carry a stock jack for looks and around town. over 75 miles and i lug around the small floor jack. i'd probably pull the car over and hitch home to get the floor jack if i got a flat. call around to some auto body repair supply stores. they SHOULD have some. "cheap" was relative. in a world of $6 per pack for smokes, $3 coffees, and $6 beers, it is "cheap" to me. a quart ran me about $25 but you don't use much at all when you apply it. foam brushes, roller, or spray.

mine looks about the same as yours. I cut off the rusted part of the jack plate and plan to clean up the rusted area and treat it. I have a new jack plate and a relative that can weld so hopefully this weekend mine will be repaired.

Edit: I still need to remove some more of the jackplate.

ok, I got the other rocker panel off today(I had trouble getting it off, 2 of the screws were rusted tight!)...

anyway, the pics above were from the drivers side, and not bad at all...

today we got to see what was below the pass. side, and I was not happy about what I saw... the other jack post is worse than the drivers side, and one small hole(small hillips screwdriver size) could be poked into the long... also, at the FRONT of long, there is(was) a plate... similar to what is under the jack post... that spot was the worst... the ENTIRE area was full of dirt, and thus very rusted, and in this area, I have a hole I can stick a finger in...

pics will follow... soon

I'll have to post pics tommorrow... I normally use my printer's card reader function... well, one printer is in the shop being worked on for splattering black all over every print, and the other is kaput... the plastic piece on the USB is broke (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) so, I'll post pics tommorrow after I get my camera cable from work...


bottom line, I'm sure the front piece(at the least) needs to be welded, I'm going to get an angle grinder tommorrow and see how bad it is...

why do they have a cavity on the side, in the front of the pass. long?! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) can I grind that piece off? or does it serve a purpose?

ok, until I can show the real pics tonight, I'll post an example pic...

the circles are where I found rust, and behind them... now, the area behind these circles are rusty too... so, does that mean that #301 is rusted too? or just another piece of 346?

ok, I got 8 pics... I took after it with an angle grinder today... and you can see it better because of it...

the worst is definately confined to the small square in the front, but the back is no beauty mark either...

my question is what do I do now... I know I have to FIX it, but how....

last one:

sorry that some look like ANDY took them (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

I'm thinking this: I can just cut the jack posts completely off to make sure all the rust is GONE... cut thes 2 portions that are on the pass. side out completely(and there's no rust behind this) and have someone weld a new piece on that...

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/welder.gif)

I don't have a 220 plug or a welder, but the car can be driven now(once I get some legalities out of the way), and I'll supply the beer and the Ribeyes to local help... I used to be "ok" with a stick welder, but that was 10 years ago, and I was never worth a damn with a wire welder...
