This is the other patch made to cover the holes on the sides where the fuel lines bend upward froom the firewall, I made sure those were out of the way (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)

Welding went much better since most of the base was new metal, it tied well the lower part of the inner long with the vertocal part. I pulled on the whole thing and it got the car moving. Unfortunately it started to rain very little so I calle dit a day, but for the heck of it I loosened the braces to see if it improved something on the car.

The result was that the car came back to original spec (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) , since I'm not done I streched back the braces to support the car, don't want the new pieces to sag allready.

Got some more stuff done over the week, I'm getting close to a driveable car.

First I took some measurements for the replacement rocker panel, mainly where the heater tube starts and where this panel will overlap the lower wheel house.

Then I welded a piece of angle iron inside the patch whereabouts the jacking plate would be. Since I won't be putting the jack post and plate, I did the reinforcement from inside.

Here is the second piece, these do not interfere with anything. I did the same thing on the other side of the car but had forgotten to take a picture.

Since the seat belt support inside the long was completely rusted out I had to remake a bracket. I had to take the old piece and save the threaded part that I attached to some angle iron with a hole in the middle.

I could of used a simple nut to the back of the new bracket but decided to keep the original insert. I carefully drilled the hole and the pressed in the thing (I don't know what it's called exactly).

Another replacement patch for the suspension console/engine mount area. The main function of this patch is to elongate the flange that you see from underneath the car.

Here it is welded in, the upper part is useless for now, I just left it there, you never know when it might be needed.

Another reinforcement panel to be put in. This is the one that has the seat belt bracket on it. This thing is overkill but I'd rather be safe than sorry!

Cleaned the weld splatter with a vacuum and some compressed air and applied primer to the finished inner section.

Here is a general view.
