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 |

I do not know how to weld. I guess I'll either take it somewhere or get one of those "welders on wheels" to come over.

Too bad you didn't come see us in CT before you took it home. We could have found and fixed every problem you have encountered so far. I would recommend against having a "welder on wheels" take care of this. Look carefully for a place that has the necessary skills to do a proper job. Too many weld shops will talk big and do sh!t for you. |

You'd be lucky to get a bodyshop in our area to even use metal, most are glass and go. |
