I've just started rustproofing a '76 911 (930). Would need some help in the anatomy of a 911 chassis... how to get access to certain places.

(1) I have been able to locate the holes from inside the front trunk ... holes like in this tub (targa80 -project photo)

Q: how to access sections on the "outer side", as in this picture:

- does one need to drill extra holes? I don't know what sort of sections might be on the edges of the front-trunk bay.

(1.1) In particular, I would like to protect from this rust

(2) Kidney bowls - how to best protect these? Drill holes? Where?

- the sections look complex. Box sections here and there. Where to drill holes? or is there readily access?

Would quite appreciate any hints on access / or holes to be drilled. I am not very familiar yet with a 911 chassis and relevant sections, have never welded a 911.


I've so far injected Dinitrol ML (a good quality, thin cavity protection) from the holes inside front trunk area


Bought 5 litres (around a gallon) of Dinitrol ML, some brake cleaner to tidy up any spills, a kit to spray material with air compressor








(white tape tells me "one has been there already", a kind of a reminder


Used these holes underneath battery:
