Well, the hole itself was repaired, but I was just able to excavate as seen below. Surrounding area is ice pick proof. What are the best "fixes" to be done while keeping the car together? It does not extend into the interior either and the side runners are very solid (had been replaced too).

Well, the hole itself was repaired, but ... I told you so just doesn't cut it ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) That hell hole "fix" on the top just looked too suspicious. Time to drop the engine and do it right!

How are your welding skills? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Andy |

Time to drop the engine and do it right! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Either leave it for the time being or drop the motor and do it right. I would bet there is more rust in there you can't access with the motor in. Also, I would investigate the PO's engine shelf repair you had in the other thread. I agree with Andy, its suspicious. I would be too scared to weld that close to an active fuel supply anyway. In the 914 rustoration I'm working on, I've learned 1 thing.... Where there's smoke, there's fire. |
