Here's a preview of what is next: firewall, inner fender wall, and top of sill.

OK, now for what everyone has been waiting for (at least me): the hell hole, or what George wants us to call the slightly rusty battery area.

Here is the first cut taking out the rusty section of the firewall, mostly above the seam with the engine shelf.

Some of the rust extended below the shelf/upper-lower panel seam, down to the top of the sill.

Next, cutting out the top of the sill, and trying to separate the inner and outer layers of sheet metal. For now I stopped cutting where the outer layer shows only moderate to light pitting.

The good news: inside the sill I found only very minor surface rust, even on the bottom.

Now for the big hole, after cutting the inner fender wall from just above the battery tray level down to the sill.

Investigating between the back side of the mount and the sill face, seems like something is missing.

After deliberation and input from others on 914World (thanks!) I decided to leave the engine mount in place, at least for now. I dosed the joint between the mount and the sill with Corroseal.

Now to start filling in the holes I cut. Here's the patch for the inner fender wall, cut from the larger reproduction panel I got from AA.

I think you made the right call on that engine mount. As usual. I'm in awe of the speed and quality of your work.

I have seen this project in person a few times. The quality and speed of work is there but more importantly to note is Bob is a one man show. Very inspiring!

Sometimes, but not so much in the extra long dark winter. Colorado mountains are at least as good, and the driving around here is way better.
