Hi guys,
I know we have a bunch of local 914 guys in the So Cal area and you've all been great help with information. Now I would like to ask all of you if any of you would be willing to come down to my house in Huntington Beach and help me with welding in new floorboards into my car? I don't have a welder, so I hope someone would be able to bring one. I'm planning on ordering the floor parts this week. Maybe we can do it for Saturday, 8/21. We can turn it into "Ed's 914 BBQ" with good food, good drinks, camaraderie and good 914 knowledge. I hope we can do this to help keep my 914 alive. Thanks Guys!!!

I'm excited!!!! I was able to pick up the floorboards yesterday. They are from Restoration Design #24 and #25. I've got them at the ready. I guess they go in from underneath.
Does anybody have any tips or is there a tread on how to cut the old ones out??? If someone can let me know that would be great. I want to have the car ready for welding for 8/21. |

QUOTE(EdArango @ Jul 26 2010, 01:52 PM)  Does anybody have any tips or is there a tread on how to cut the old ones out??? Let the nightmare begin. If your floors need replacing, there's a good chance that there will be more "discoveries" found. The cleanest way to remove them is with a spot weld drill which requires stripping off the undercoating first, finding each and every spot weld and carefully drilling each one. There are hundreds of spot welds to remove a complete floor. The other method is to air chisel them off which, if you've never used an air chisel, is a BAD idea. You will create more work. Welding is the easy part. It's the preparation beforehand that takes all of the time. Get the old pan removed, drill the new pan where you want it spot welded through, get the 2 surfaces you want welded together all nice and shiny and have everything in place and ready to be welded. Remember, you get what you pay for. IMHO, a BBQ and some beers is not payment enough for someone to weld upside down under you car for 2 hours. |
