Had a little difficulty locating the front bracket tight to the wall, so finally decided to pull it into place with a screw so I could weld the first hole.

Decided to change up today and work on removing the adhesive from the interior. Sanding and scraping doesn’t work well, so I tried adhesive remover. Well, it removed the adhesive...and the paint, and remaining seam sealer.

I think I’ll do the rest of the inside with this stuff.

Yep, here it is. I purchased it about six years ago to remove carpet glue from concrete. Glad it works well on the 914 also.

Catching up on posting my progress. I’ve welded in the GT chassis kit, and made additional panels to go over the area where I removed the 4 jug engine mounts. Also had to replace the brake line mount due to the added panel, and welded on new rear jack plates after cleaning out the rust.

I think the second side looks better. This one shows the zinc I put between everything I’m welding onto the car.

And the rust paranoia continues. Here is the plate in the rear trunk before and after removal. I have a replacement from RD that needs to go on after cleaning the rust off.

Cool shot! Nice work!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
I was fortunate in that my car came with this work completed so I will tuck this shot away in my files. Love it.

Ugh! That's about the only piece of metal I didn't replace on my resto. Now I'm going to have nightmares (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yikes.gif) Hoping I can get enough rust converter and internal frame coating to seep into there to kill the rust. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Beautiful work on the car. Love watching the progress (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif)

Thanks for sharing the detail pics of the reinforcements. I was starting to make the same yesterday, and it is great to see another perspective.

Looks great.. The rust worm is interesting to say the least. I plan to spray. Corrosion x in all the cavitys as that will creep into every potential spot on the car..

Its an avaition protectant.
