No this is not a piece cut from a rust free California 914 but rather a construction of all of the great aftermarket rust repair panels available for our 914s.
Panels + Pieces consist of: Upper Longitudinal Battery Tray Battery Support Engine Shelf Inner Suspension Console Inner Wheelhouse Jack Plate Jack Tube Outer Firewall Inner Firewall Cross Member Floor Pan Quarter Door Sill Door Jamb Floor Pan Triangle (IMG:http://www.autoatlanta.com/rustoration/new/four.jpg) (IMG:http://www.autoatlanta.com/rustoration/new/one.jpg) (IMG:http://www.autoatlanta.com/rustoration/new/two.jpg) (IMG:http://www.autoatlanta.com/rustoration/new/six.jpg) (IMG:http://www.autoatlanta.com/rustoration/new/five.jpg) (IMG:http://www.autoatlanta.com/rustoration/new/three.jpg) |

What cool perspective of the hell hole area.
There is one part that is not quite original though. I'm sure it's made that way for ease of manufacturing, but it's worth pointing out for educational purposes. This portion is double layered in the original pieces. The 'corrugated' metal was a C shape that fit inside the U shaped inner longitudinal. |

The 'corrugated' metal was a C shape that fit inside the U shaped inner longitudinal. If you are replacinga portion the section you are indicating with the ribs, Does anyone know if it will be as strong as the original? You would have a portion with the ribs and a portion with the inner stiffener. With the inner stiffener only spot welded to the outer skin wouldn't it be difficult to get it integrated with the new ribbed skin? I hope I explained that clearly... |
