When I bought the car there were AC lines running through this part. I removed the AC and thought about running the coolant lines through here but they are now under the car.
Installing flares and inner long kit has brought me back to this damaged area . I looked for this part on some on line diagrams but could not identify it (yellow arrow). It looks like it is spot welded to the outer long and sill. I am sure it is supporting the the threshold, sill, very well but I feel there is more to it. It may get cut off today, so I should ask... Is this part reproduced? What is its function? I also did not find the little support brackets (green arrow) so I started making new ones. Again, I am thinking of stamping 2.1" holes in the smaller brackets and rerouting the coolant lines. I am just wondering how much thought I should give to the larger (yellow arrow) part.

QUOTE(sean_v8_914 @ Oct 30 2011, 12:26 PM)  that is the A-pillar base gusset to the front portion of the tub. FIX IT! Thanks Sean, I believe we met last weekend before you took off from the G&R. After a lot of digging out body seal, I now see what your saying and why I could not find the end to the part. Looks like the door attaches to that same part. That smaller part is not just a gusset but also runs up to the A pillar. Now that I have this big hole that needs corrective action, I may have to look into welding a tube in through it for a coolant line. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) I think the drivers side is formed so smog lines can fit. I don't know if there is much room for a coolant return line.
