RE: [MarcosManiacs] Help with undercarriage crack 1965 1800GT

I've used a lot of West System Epoxy on my sail boat, West Marine stores
carry the product and they generally stock a great how to use book, which
explains all the various alternative mixes and additives.

Thanks

That is very interesting rear subframe! I'm used to steel-framed Marcos cars
without IRS. 

Your damage doesn't look too bad. I would be making repairs with West System
Epoxy as used in the wooden boat industry. I have used this product for
numerous repairs on my Marcos. 

Obviously, you will need to disassemble mechanicals around the damaged area
for access, then grind and clean to find the extent of damage.

Does anyone know how to handle a crack in the plywood above the muffler?
Looks like the muffler bottomed out and went into the plywood. See attached
pictures.

Also, the car sits very low and has trouble clearing driveway. Is there a
way to raise the car an inch or two?

Thank you
