it's not much, and it's mostly surface rust on the long, the jack post brace is worse... but the long is solid...
I'm thinking: grind/brush off all the rust and then ospho(or metal ready) and por-15 is that good enough for solid metal? or should I put a plate over it after that as an extra brace? let me know what you think... btw, when I took the rocker off, no less than a pound of DIRT fell out!! I know to clean this spot, but evidently the last guy forgot (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) Attached image(s) |

last one:
sorry that some look like ANDY took them (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) I'm thinking this: I can just cut the jack posts completely off to make sure all the rust is GONE... cut thes 2 portions that are on the pass. side out completely(and there's no rust behind this) and have someone weld a new piece on that... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/welder.gif) I don't have a 220 plug or a welder, but the car can be driven now(once I get some legalities out of the way), and I'll supply the beer and the Ribeyes to local help... I used to be "ok" with a stick welder, but that was 10 years ago, and I was never worth a damn with a wire welder... Attached image(s) |
