Did a quick and dirty check to see how flexy my frame is. Just stuck a laser pointer on the rear fender with a magnet and aimed it at a notecard taped to the front fender. Marked the position of the dot, then jacked the wheels off the ground and marked the position of the dot again.
Have nothing to compare it to, but will check this in the future after some restoration work. If anyone is game to try this, it would be interesting to compare.    |

It's been awhile since I read it, but I think there is a quick and dirty method in the Buying A 914 post. It had to do with the passenger side, where the hell hole gets lots of attention. But IIRC, you take the roof off, but a FAT man in the car and see if the door will open or close.... maybe measure the door gaps, that kinda thing.
If the door won't operate then there are issues. I like your test, but I don't follow it. What do the dots mean? Try the dots with the FAT man in the car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) |
