Rust repair near torsion bar in the longitudinal
http://www.early911sregistry.org/for...7&postcount=12
How would you go about fixing that (scroll down to see the holes near the torsion bars). This seems to be fairly common, but I could not locate a good repair procedure. I am mainly concerned about structural soundness and not look/originality. My plan was to remove the undercoat, cut out the rust and then weld in patches with gussets or plates for additional strength, but I am open to suggestions. I am handy with a welder, but I am not sure what to expect structure wise behind that area (double wall etc.?). Also, what gauge is the steel in the longitudinal? I have lots of 14 gauge floating around, but I am guessing that is a little thicker than stock.
I bought this thing as a driver and something to work on for entertainment.

Well this look really familiar. the rust on the framing on my care near the torsion is going to be cut out and replaced, looks very similar. That rocker, when we pealed back the boxing that that someone had stuck on there we found this..........hope yours comes along a little better than mine.

I agree with Dessmo too. Well worth saving.

Need to remove some of the covering as noted before, but for a driver, that looks pretty good to me. I don't really see where you could go wrong although there are a few folks here that would love those seats enough that it might pay for the car.....
