Having recently removed my motor mounts I can vouch for what a pig of a job it is. Well done!

Saturday’s project while listening and occasionally glancing at the 24hr at Daytona:
Addressed the hole in the floor that made me give my 914 the U-boat moniker.
It’s not pretty, no finish sanding or primer yet.
Just wanting to fill that split. It must have occurred due to an improperly
adjusted jack. That whole was filled with pure undercoating when I was removing it from the interior floor.

Closed the holes on the console piece that were under the extra steel plates.
Those plates are for strengthening the console.
I do enjoy the welding. Hopeful I will get more proficient the more I do. And there’s plenty to do!

Attempted cleaning up the right engine mount area. Had a few holes to weld up
and a rather large one along the edge of the console. Some small holes were from the
spot welds holding the mount. Making progress.
Still need to reattach the brake line/hose bracket. Wanted to get some
primer on the bare metal. I’m getting flash rust showing up. It’s been raining and the
garage is a bit humid.

Out of work early today to take advantage of good warm weather, tackled a small job.
I can finally tic that off the punch list.
Made a panel for the access panel in the firewall. Using a firewall provided by Garold
I cut a piece out oversized so it could lay on top of the contours of the existing firewall
in the car enabling me to use two sets of rubber weatherstripping.
One will surround the cut out and another will wrap around the larger cover.
So noise and any water (unlikely) will be stopped. As well as flames (ha, never know with carbs). I still need to weld the nuts to the engine side. Take care of that this weekend. Cheers all.

Very nice!
Just a minor suggestion: you may want to round the corners of the opening in the firewall. That'll eliminate the likelihood of a crack developing in that area.

Keep up the great work and progress and you'll be on the road before you know it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Took Chris advice and rounded the corners slightly of hatch opening.
Welded the nuts on the panel. Primered the cover, wanted to do more but the temps are
dropping quickly so no further primer today. Come on spring!
