So I had to remove my tunnel to repair everything inside that was broken or rusted. Now I am thinking about just making a custom tube frame tunnel that will make it easy to get inside to do any work later on down the line.
Has anybody done one before? If so, do you have any pics? I am looking for ideas, and suggestions. |

QUOTE(charliew @ Jun 30 2010, 11:40 AM)  944 e brake lever bracket and cables are my game plan. I have an E-brake handle out of a 964 I plan on installing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) Just gonna drill a couple of holes just above the top of the tunnel on the back firewall , mig in a couple of small tubes for the cables , mount it to a plate aand then mount the plate to the tunnel. I have thought about the tunnel being removable also , reason for my interest in the thread. Gigamight , I'd say go for it if that's what you want, as for mine I am going to leave it there as the car body is in too good a condition to do the mod , heck I don't even want flares , just hate to cut up a very good very low rust body, if it needed a bunch of rust repair , I wouldn't think twice about doing the tunnel mod. YMMV..... Jack / Jaxdream |
