Such a common repair and SO many on here have done it,do a search on here using keywords and continue learning more,it is a bit of a job and lots of pitfalls and IMO it is the most important structural rust repair in these cars if done right ,good luck,cheers |

Research, research, check your door braces, more research and tons of time
It's not a quick project |

I've been casually cruising 914world for about 1 3/4 years, surely hundreds of hours. It was a year before I could recognize a lot of what the dissection/autopsy pics were showing. There is a lot of stuff!
If you aren't familiar, most of it is archived under: 914World.com > The 914 Forums > Restoration and Build Threads The longest one I've read is from 914 Guru, Bill K. Its like 330+ pages, with comments. IIRC, he had more bulkhead issues where I had more longitudinal issues, but the experiences, methods, tools, ideas, coatings and materials translate to other areas, so I read it all. Once it makes sense, I copy and paste stuff that I don't want to forget into a big text file. I am also close to starting longs and floor. I picked up my parts at Restoration Design a few months ago. I am very lucky, as Brad Mayeur and his ace assistant Mike are only an hour away. Good luck! Tom |

Thanks all for the advice and links to good threads - scary but I am sure they will be very good help. Hope to bite the bullet soon and peek inside…
