@jss297 See the post above Beebo Kanelle has a question? Beebo you can send a notification to a user by using the @Username, does not work for you as you have a space in your name.

hope that helps you get the answer your looking for.

Foam in older cars not good idea. I am a firm believer in foam for structural enhancement, it is used all the time in Marine applications. I used it on the retoration of my boat, installed drain channels into the bilge and then foamed all under deck cavities. But it is fiberglass with wood stringers, and a 3/4" pressure treated deck. I never want to go back and redo the floor on that boat.

I will most likely purchase a different one, and it will most likely have a floor made of pulp, and do it all again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Foam in a car that has rust = bad idea, and all 914s have rust, unless acid dipped metal repaired, proper holes installed and the EDM coated.

Also if you foam the logs, you will crush the paper tubes that are in there to keep the heat going in the proper direction.
