    These videos are great! I just tried to swap out my Seatbelts in my 1973 914 and both are pretty rusted right around the seat belt mount. Looks like I will be digging in to something similar to what you did here. Thanks for documenting your steps.

      Yeah, that area of the body is a pain to figure out what panel overlaps what to figure out where to cut. At worst just cut a hole and patch a new, stronger piece in.

    Hi,
    What is the proper welding wire you use?
    Good job!

    What size wire did you use

    skip the flux core and but a nice mig welder with argon/co setup. Your fab skills deserve better welds.

      Thank you. Good to know my metal shaping skills are adequate at least!

      @@AutoDIYdactic You are implying that your welding skills are sub-par, when they infact are not; If you get a mig with CO2/Argon, you will realize this. Gas shielded mig makes the repair so much more satisfying and rewarding. Trust me, I've been there myself. Using gas shielded mig, doing butt-welds, and welding all around the patch, is for me what makes projects so addicting and rewarding.
      And btw, good stuff with that 16ga. Glad to see someone using thicker metal in some of their repairs! Keep up the good work!

      Have to agree. 25% CO2 is a different world. Leaving the tip, albeit a bit harder to see around, will focus the gas coverage and make for much better and cleaner welds. Great stuff!
