Cleaning up this area for a new battery tray and to see what kind of a mess might be there. Woohoo! Just some surface rust to treat and POR-15. After some of the horrors I've seen here, I feel lucky!

What year is that? My 73 doesn't have those round holes through the firewall and into the wheelwell. What are they for?

(well, it has holes but they aren't round and are much less intentional)

Some of the AC kits were installed like that. I have one

That is awesome. You are a very lucky man.

914RS wasn't bad, but still needed this fixed:

Joe, did you ever save any pictures of how you fixed yours?

Cut and weld:

Was your car dipped or blasted?

You have a beatiful project by the way.

It's a '73. The holes into the wheel well are indeed for A/C hoses, they're gone, and the holes are getting filled in, as is the cut-out in the right side engine shelf. The lower one in the firewall is where the Megasquirt brain to MS relay cable is coming thru.

No problem Joe. You've got a beautiful car, and I welcome any opportunity to see your work.

Garry,
How come your metal is kinda gold colored? is it coated with something?

Lou, it's just the crappy camera flash.
