And the battery box area repair.

Anything the experts out there would have done differently? I'm considering having this shop do the exterior as well...

I think it's safe to say they are all rusted out in the battery box area. The more Scotty cleaned in mine, the more he found...and my car is a damn solid car (in 914 terms).
Good work getting it fixed when you see it!

From May 1977 when he was still Irish Green... But has the 15" Fuchs that it still has today - originally had steelies.

The car is running and drivetrain-wise is pretty solid now. The plan is to put a couple hundred miles on it to work out all the kinks, and then take the rest of it apart for a full repaint (leaving the engine in). And that time I'll also refurbish the suspension, brakes, gas tank, new carpet, etc and then have a pretty nice little six!

I haven't seen this before. Maybe it's just early car vs late car, but the thin sound padding on the firewall was sprayed/melted on. On all the later cars I've seen this is just a sheet the peels (usually falls) off.

Why you should fix a loose rear window... Especially if you live in Portland.

When I started to pull up all the tar. Note there are no "carpet hold downs" on the main floor board. They aren't on either side, but the factory tar is still everywhere.

I agree, it "should", but something happened to this one. It was glued/melted on to the the firewall, and also onto the backpad. It did come out eventually though.

Well that's news to me. I'll leave it as-is. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
