Milt,
I don't have a spot weld story, but I do have a welding story. I think Han's brother Wulfgang was having a bad day when he welded the spring plate bungs on my '76. One of the four bungs didn't line up with the springplate very well. I commend the guy on the assembly line for getting it in there back in 1976, but once I got it off, there was no getting it back on.
I was so pissed back in April when I was rebuilding the rear suspension to rush to a track day. I fought with the thing and striped it! I tried a helicoil kit, but that's another sad story about automotive suppliers...I never used the helicoil kit, and I just weld the fucher on good!
I think I know how you feel. Everytime I take something apart or try to repair something, I find more crap with my car or with the PO's work. I've been checking in on your progress on that tub, and I commend you for your perseverance....I might have thrown in the towel already if I were in your shoes ...
Keep at it. If your work on the 914 is any indication, this 911 will turn out just great!
