Laguna Blue 75 build thread, Freshly painted Options

[Tim17]

The previous owner told us the hell hole and longs had been done and he seemed like an honest car guy. So that was dumb and naive of me. It was clear that a bunch of work had been done around the hell hole, which looked good from the engine bay. When we got it home and on the lift we were faced with a rusted out lower firewall.
Ordered a firewall repair panel.
We pulled the engine today and cut out the lower firewall and it’s pretty ugly.

I’m laughing with you not at you. Welcome to 914ville. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png)

I’ve come to the conclusion that many peoples definition of fixed is quite different than my own.

You look to be on a good path toward a better fix than epoxy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Been there - done that

Many others have walked this path and brought back cars in far worse shape than what you’re dealing with so far.

@Superhawk996
Thanks for the response, it’s perfect.
I had already been looking at some of your revival of the dead 914, and your fabrication skills are very impressive. Most people would run from that project (me too), but you took it on as a challenge.

I’ll spend some time looking at these other links.
