Jereon, from the pics of your car I have seen it don't look too bad. Just lots of work to finish! haha
Now you can see why I junked the 70 car, hell, I got it for free so why not after stripping it for parts. Where are you on the project now? I haven't seen an update for awhile. Daag, Geoff |

I am almost done with thewelding rust repair in this area and I have another question.
I am adding a Permacool oil cooler to the car and was wanting to cut a hole in the spot shown in the pic. The cooler will be mounted in the fenderwell as far forward as possible. The plan is to try to pull more fresh air into the engine bay and exaust it into the fenderwell. Do you think this will physically hurt the car? Should I weld a plate around the hole?

The factory uses a similar hole on the other side of the car for the factory oil tank.... it wont be a problem if you add one to the passenger side of the car.
East coast people are loving your "rust problem" B |

It will be fine unless you drive the car on the street and in the rain. Tons of road shit gets thrown up there by the tires and will trash your set up.

I got the same problem. Glad to see that mine is fixable : ) !! I've got it pretty well cleaned up and some guy is actually going to come to my house and weld it! What is Metal Ready and POR15?? I thought my rust was bad and now I've seen worse.
Cheers, Elliot |

Geoff, when I looked at that pic of the rusty long. you posted, I cringed. That was the most upsetting pic I've seen posted since the naked old lady! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Lots of cars in Seattle look like that, rusty longs and passenger floorpans.
Easy to get ripped off around here. Here's a name for it: S-stupid A-advanced R-rust S-syndrome So fellow listers, if your car has SARS keep away from my car! Geoff |

Good god man!
Some of you Cali boy's are total whiner's about rust! This coming from a guy that had horseshoe's flying out of his butt (rust wise) when he snagged his first 914. But you should have seen my parts car, it broke in half as we tried to load it, held together by the shift rod and wiring harness. Cut the wires and rolled the front on, then a trailing arm broke off pulling the rear half on with come-alongs! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) Almost killed my back and reopened my old hernia, but it was worth it. |

Elliot,
I have been sceptical about Por-15 for a long time but I finally broke down and got their starter kit. I have only used the metal prep and that stuff is awsome, I am expecting the paint to be just as good. I am going to rattle-can the whole engine bay, what paints have you guys used that last? I am looking for a light grey. |
