I ran a metal fuel line through the tunnel but I encased it in shrink wrap to protect it. I have always wondered why Porsche did the lines in plastic. Then one day I thought, what if the wiring in the tunnel becomes damaged. Well, it can't arch on the fuel line. Maybe it's (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bs.gif) but it worked for me.

OH NO,,, There is more welding in my future... Well me and my buddy was going to fix a couple of the small holes I found in the floorboard when I removed the sound proofing, and weld up a couple of gaps under the head light I saw a while ago when we uncovered another mess,,, there has been 3 pieces of metal patched together poorly and barley spot welded.. making up the inner fenderwell... Then covered up with the oh mighty bondo... I cant believe it held up in the wheel well... some of it was pretty thick. Oh well I just gotta laugh at this point (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) , And on top of that the heads I bought off of a guy on another website that were suppose to be 1.8 .... Yep you guessed it they were 1.7 with a 100mm bore for the cylinder jugs.. So they wont work without machine work... Man I am having the worst luck with this car... What is it they say, what doesnt kill you makes you stronger. Well all I have to say is I better have this car till the day I die. There is so much blood, sweat, and almost tears into her . here some pics of mess Attached ImageAttached Image

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) were those lower gaps/holes covered with bondo and sealer or did you already start to cut away bad metal ?

Also major progress.. We got the passenger inner fender and all supports straight and welded back in (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) this represents at least 15-20 man hours of repair. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

Well we got the front slope nose back into shape the PO had told me that another person did one side he did the other. Hmm Well I can guess which side he did the drivers side had been barley spot welded not primed just bare metal on the underside as you can see in the first few pictures of this original post. So I wheeled it all down. re welded it, then I shaped the metal because he had over 1/2 " of bondo making the shape. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) then it wasent seam sealed or anything so water got up ther and had cracked the filler I made 3 template of the curve on the other side. so I could transfer the shape over the the driver fender. It worked out great and there is only a light skim coat of filler now.. Paint will be in my furure soon (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) I spent at least 8 hours on this fender today. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) most of that was with the body hammers and dolly.... glad thats done

Well with those holes, you should just turn it into a v8 car and add a radiator. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Great Work!
