I cut sections from the front and rear fenders to gain access to the rusted areas. More info on that lift? I replaced the drivers side long on father-in-laws '70 911 targa, I had to cut the rear qtr panel, luckily my car needs a complete repaint. EZ Car Lift, I bought the caster set so I could spin the car around to work on both sides. I added rubber pads to support the pan. Great tool, 150 lbs. uses an electric drill for up and down movement. ezcarlift.com |

...I had to replace the inner wheelhouse on mine using the Restoration Design part: http://www.restoration-design.com/store/SRCH?Search=PP331 Brent, does that part consist of two pieces welded together, as implied by the RD description? QUOTE Inner wheelhouse spot weldedd to the outer wheelhouse panel. |

But isn't that inside long section supposed to be double wall also? I.e., the corrugated piece is hidden inside the long, but the exposed skin, where the engine mount and suspension console are attached, is smooth. At least, that's the way it is on the car originally, AFAIK. |

I spent several weeks fabricating patches for inner and outer walls on both sides of the car as others have shown on this thread. |

I think that the "Right passenger inner wheel house firewall" is the proper sheet metal to repair the rust/holes beneath the battery hell hole. Correct?

Pics of the damage and a link to the part you are referencing would help. I had to replace the inner wheelhouse on mine using the Restoration Design part: http://www.restoration-design.com/store/SRCH?Search=PP331, but it isn't always needed and depends on how deep the corrosion went. Outer and inner longitudinals seem to be more common and the inners can often be patched depending on severity of damage and your skill. RD calls the outer longitudinal an "Inner Rocker." Post pics and you'll get lots of help! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Thanks, Brent. Not sure if the pics went through. May have gotten mixed up with another same situation of the hell hole. That hole is part of the inner long and can often be patched. You'll need to pull off your rocker cover and poke around at least from the jack point rearward with a screwdriver to figure out what else is rotted because it rarely stops there. Here is a pic of what the inner wheelhouse area of mine looked like before repair to give you an example of one that needed to be replaced. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-20845-1502386440.jpg) There are a number of build threads both past and present that have great information on tackling these repairs. Jeff Hail's "Bring out your dead" is one of the best. Here is a link to about where my hell hole repair starts and includes patching that spot in your pics. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?s=&...t&p=2515579 Mine wasn't the worst one that has been rescued, but it was getting up there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Thanks, Brent. The jack hole is pretty bad but difficult to see any more damage rearward due to the fender, which seems solid, (from the outside.) Lots of rust debris inside the holes, however. |

yo i cut out all of the rust and rewelded it with a 99$ harbor freight welder as a beginner.. Not sure of your level or experience but if i can do it, literally anyone can. check out my signature for the blog info on my welding.
If you can post some other photos from farther back that would be helpful. When i was welding or asking for welding advice i would provide as much detail as possible. I would always use a piece of steel that i got from ace to try to match the thickness of what i cut out. Give me a call if you have any questions and i can walk you through from a beginners perspective. PM me for number. -Brett [quote name='Chip' post='2586115' date='Mar 5 2018, 09:38 PM'] I think that the "Right passenger inner wheel house firewall" is the proper sheet metal to repair the rust/holes beneath the battery hell hole.

Do not use a flux core welder for body work. The chances of leaving flux material in the weld is very high. Down the road that will cause adherence problems. Buy a better welder and sell it off when your done.

right inner firewall yes along with the engine shelf and maybe the upper longitudinal part The very first parts we made ever were to repair this area, Hopefully you do not need much. Also in this area are right rear floor pan inner right firewall outer right firewall right inner rocker panel jack post and support floor pan triangle battery tray battery tray support engine bay c channel trunk hinge cup control unit bracket inner suspension console right outer rocker panel the only two pieces that we do not make are the outer three bolt suspension console and the right engine mounting pod, but have found in very few cases that these parts cannot be reused Is the "Right passenger inner wheel house firewall" the proper part to repair the rust holes deep in the bowels of the hell hole? Beneath the battery? Thanks to you all. |
