this looks great
details - is this the GT2 (w/o window) or GT3 knob?
what weight did you go with and how do you like it?

Thx @speedy951
getting a cutout from Elliot at 944 barn as well
did you separate the battery hold down on the new piece and reseal/weld it back in place?
looks like @Tom 's had corrosion underneath
wondering if that is necessary on the donor/new piece

For people that have had to do this repair more than once - what was the reason? What is necessary for a successful long term repair?

Identify rust areas
Cut out to good metal
Patch, weld
Seam sealer
Paint

Any other tips to make sure it’s done correctly?

thanks for all the advice and recommendations!

94611, but work in 94080
anywhere in the bay area is fine

1986 951 - new to us
have been slowly refurbing things - fuel lines, etc
running well

wet passenger carpet after heavy rains here in the bay area
removed battery and not what we wanted to see!
plenty of rust in the battery tray and some holes
at least it's not a mystery where the water is coming ...
