So here is the rust on this one. It's a 75 cali car it's entire life.

Get the worst over to begin. Let us take a look at the hell hole. It was solid, and even passed teh screwdriver/hammer test....

*until* it soaked in metal ready a while... then the screwdriver test started picking out giant holes which you see here. It is still soaking, and has been on/off for days not to eat away more to see what metal is truly left. Next step is a grinder or non-hand tool of sorts to break deep into the pitting and see what truly is through.

That will be a nice solid car when you are done with it.

What other rice rocket mods did they do besides the door handles?

That was it. Well they shaved the front side marker lights, one side seems to have been done well with steel, the other side has shitty weld rusting out the back and a lot of filler, which is bowing in.

The drivers rear fender has gobs of bondo in the door handle shave zone, as well as the wheel arch. Part of the lip sticking out was recreated in bondo, but what is awesome is I have a spare set of wheel arches/partial fenders from a signal orange 72 that were given to me when i bought some wheels and seats of a local 914 guy on craigslist.

Unfortunately my fenders are not the entire portion which would eliminate this mess.

I will get them bare and see if I can learn some old school hammer and dolly technique to fix.

I am now doing surgery and cutting the remnants of the pass side metal plate off with a tungsten carbide dremel bit, very carefully.
