tub good or bad?
Im still pulling apart a project 1977 911 I bought cheap. I want to ensure that its worth rebuilding. The only rust on the car is in two places, the inner tub by the bumper shock mount ( inner fender ) its all the way through. And the suspension pan under the battery. I dont really know wht to look for though. When the car is on the jacks in the garage one jack ( when set at the same height as the other jack in the front ) is 3/4" from supporting the car, now my garage has a slope in it, but.....
Are there measurments or things to look for to ensure the tub isnt a lemon? PS: The interior and everythings out and poked with a punch, the rust ( while maybe severve in the front ) is all in the front. Once the car is acid dipped maybe I will spot some stress cracks. PS: GT racing seems to have quality RSR kits from what Ive read but Ive found other places a lot cheaper, who would recommend a fiberglass supplier?

You will have to put a bit of labor of love into that tub
From the pics you posted its already been repaired once.. often time these previous repairs are more a problem than a solution.. The rust through the door jamb is troublesome..

Thanks, why is the rust through the door jam troublesome? Im guessing more rust that I cant see yet there.
