Pleasure ?
Accomplishment? Lack of self esteem? This is how I spent each evening this week. Cutting out the safety rail & fixing the dents behind the rail. Mr. Sixnotfour said "oh that's easy"....... I don't think so....I'm just looking for some ideas ...what's my motivation for this pain? Attached image(s) |

Come on now, you know you need to cut it out of the passenger side too. Besides, now you've figured it out.
I'm telling you, if you don't cut it out, your tires will wear wrong and the car will corner funny |

Now you would be really obsessed if you;
Weigh the cross bar sections, drill holes to lighten it, re-weigh it so you know how much weight you removed, then weld it all back in. Of course, you will have to remove the door skin in order to weld it back in correctly. A replacement door skin should still be available through Porsche for around $2500. (but is on a 5 month back-order) Then, as posted prior, you would have to do the same thing to the other door in order to have the car balanced. Wes |
