New car, first 911, full of questions!
Bottom seam on both boxes are splitting, (knew about this when buying, so it's not an unpleasant surprise) .. Splits, as opposed to missing metal...how long might they last?
Question: Has anybody successfully welded them? In the knowledge that you can't weld on rust, how much of the seam should be removed to effect a decent repair? Concerned that removing too much might loosen internal baffle plates .... Have no idea what is or isn't sandwiched between the two halves being joined at the seam. Any experience out there?
I have access to an expert stainless welder, but would like to be able to give him some guidance.
