Rust repairs started
Well, it turns out my '70E is not quite as rust free as originally thought. Just started some temporary repairs on the pas fender at the flange and thought I'd show a couple of pics. The first is after grinding out the rust and some filler from a previous repair. The second is in process of filling and priming. Because the files are so large, I've just posted links.

OUCH, the p side fender I have might be in better shape than that. You should take a look at it when you come down this way.

Been there, fixed it. As you are going to paint the car it might be easier to remove the fenders and have them repaired with metal. After they are repaired, if they are off the car it is easier to get POR 15 right down between the double layer of metal behind the flange. You also get better access to the battery boxes.
Of course, while you are at it you might as well clean off the bottom of the car and undercoat that too. Does it ever end? ------------------ Allan Broadribb '70-911E, 2.2l with Webers http://www.cheaterswayside.com/uploads/Mvc-002s355.jpg |

This is only a temporary fix. I plan to spot paint the fender for now and then strip the car at some future date after the whole job/carreer thing stabilizes. That's when I'll replace affected panels or weld in patches. I also discovered a rusty spot in the passenger floor pan under the seat last week. Really disappointed, but hey, that's what happens with these old guys. It will be another bonding experience.
Tom, I will take a look at the fenders when I come down. Mark ------------------ Mark B. Wilson 1970 911E mbwilson@home.com http://www.marksobsessions.20m.com/ |
