[/QUOTE] drill out the spot welds with a good spot weld cutter, thenremove the panel. You will have to watch when you break throught the outer piece of metal and stop in order to not go through the inner section. [/QUOTE]
Thanks Scotty- ahhh so obvious I should have figured that out. My brain must be working at only 1/2 speed- maybe that's from breathing in the POR15 stuff the other day. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) I got the hell hole cleaned up. I had to remove the battery tray as I found some holes in the sheet metal where the tray is welded to the sidewall. I will cut and fab new metal to weld soon. Happily though, that seems to be the only major problem in this area, no holes down below to the longs or to the passenger side firewall! Sweet!

Thats quite a project, building your own rust free 914!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) If I get down your way I will give you a call and stop by! How much longer will take before the 914 is driveable again?
Take Care Bill |

Yeah, I got inspired by looking at all of the other posts on here, took a welding class, sold some stuff so I could afford a welder...and here I am. Who knows I might be able to pull it off, too?
Of course 'rust free' it will never be, but I'll do what I can- I at least want to make sure it's not going to break in two (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif) Hoping to have the car drivable within a month or so. Who knows, maybe I'll be able it up to Everett for the races after all! Call anytime Bill, it'd be great to have an opportunity to return the hospitality! |
