There are two types of Porsche owners:

1. Those whose cars have rust.
2. Those who haven't find the rust on thier cars.

I am now offically part of RUST club.

I completed the rotisserie for my '69 912 and before bolting it all up, I decided to weld up the battery box that I cut off for the Carrera cooler. While doing so, I was removing some of the paint around the edges when the metal starting getting weak and broke through...the rust showed its ugly face.

Poking away for a bit showed that Porsche used a larger piece of steel to reinforce the front bumber and in doing so they left a space between the two pieces of sheetmetal...a great place start rusting. I am going to cut away more of the metal tonight and see how far the rabbit hole goes. Looks like I am going to be doing some rust repair before I get it up on the rotessire since that is where I mounted the rotesserie.

Hi Ron -
I wouldnt worry about that too much. Just make sure you don't put carbs on the car, it will devalue it.

Are you joining the 12-step program? My guess is no since one of the steps involves a large vat of acid.

"Lord, please grant me the courage to fix the rust I encounter;
the serenity to accept the rust I cannot reach;
and the wisdom to to know when to stop trying."

Ha Im finishing a rustoration on my 911 also
