Got a chance to do some more patching of the '14 today.
Here is a pic of the front trunk after I removed all the bondo some time ago. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.gaz914.com-1758-1634535084.1.jpg) At the time I got really scared and never thought I could fix it. Thanks to the helpful pictures and encouragement here, I am tackling this like a pro! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.gaz914.com-1758-1634535084.2.jpg) Now the channel on the left of the part I cut out looked OK and you can see where I POR15'd some of it when I did the front fender. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.gaz914.com-1758-1634535085.3.jpg) But then I noticed there seemed to be some rust forming between the metal parts and decided to investigate. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.gaz914.com-1758-1634535085.4.jpg) You can see that the POR15 hasn't penetrated, although it adhered really well to the exposed metal. (IMG:http://www.gaz914.com/Pictures/Pork914/Low/Images/050325FTrunkLip2_Low.jpg) This is what it looks like now. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.gaz914.com-1758-1634535088.5.jpg) I am not planning on using the factory seal - I will make something else fit. The question is why do I need to add the "lip" on the front? Would leaving it off mean that water ran away from there and helps prevent the rust coming back? Thoughts appreciated. Cheers GAZ |
