I did an extensive search to no avail...I thought I remember someone mentioning a way to be able to spray paint (POR 15 or other rust treatment) inside the longs just by making a small access hole? I need to close up my hell hole repair but before I do I would like to spray rust treatment into the long. Thankfully the long is not rusted but I can see surface rust down in there. Anybody got any suggestions? A list of parts to do that would be great!

All of the above is good info. Remember the ospho stuff really screws up concrete, I know from previous treatments on my stuff. Also I find it really hard to flush the ospho off if you let it dry it gets really crusty and a reapplication of ospho helps but usually adds to the mess.
my 914 will not be a stock restoration although at this time I expect the longs to be really very good. I have bought all the stiffeners I have found to add to the car. I am still considering opening the bottom of the longs and adding a 2x3 or 4x4 whatever will fit tube with the bottom cut out to form a tunnel for cooling tubes. I may make the car into a rodster and really need to stiffen the longs for the support. i have been using por 15 a long time and sometimes if the surface is not really clean you will be wasting your money. The wax might be a better solution in the longs. Be sure all the welding has been done. burned metal is really susecptable to rust. |
