larger piece of long sawzaled from a parts car?
Is it just a matter of drilling out all the spot welds on both this piece and all the remianing spot welds from the rusted out piece still in my car? Attached image(s)

Yes. get a good spot weld cutter. Use a lot of patience. Measure and mark exact locations. |

The long was equally as rusty on my car so i spliced from the center of the door to the 3" above the suspention console. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sawzall-smiley.gif) Just support the car while you cut. I did this because i hate drilling spot welds and the cutter i bought from eastwood would only do 10 at a time before needing resharpening. My outer was included in this splice. If your long is good then ignore what i just said.

No, it's not that easy. The section underneath the long has a second "scab" plate welded over the top.

my longs are as rusted - meaning bad but I think at this spot they are ok for a replacement suspension console. My plan for the longs is to make them strong again but cheapest non-pretty way as they will get covered by rockers anyway. This will be the car I put a subaru motor and tranny into. I will remove the engine tin shelf also to make the engine bay more roomy. I will post some pics of the other rust asap. Thanks guys.

For tose that don't know me - I am easily satisfied - these repairs will not be pretty but will be safe and functional. I just want to drive : )
We'll off to get antique plates (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) |
