Hello
I will be picking this 1972 914 up this month it was used as a racer It is street legal and I will be using it solely for pleasure driving I will be driving some curvy back roads mostly Do you think I should remove the rollbar I can get in but its not the easiest move for me. Will this be a huge job or relatively easy Thanks (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i273.photobucket.com-17663-1444272972.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i273.photobucket.com-17663-1444272972.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i273.photobucket.com-17663-1444272972.3.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i273.photobucket.com-17663-1444272972.4.jpg) |

You should have seen Elliot try to get in/out of the Screaming Yellow Zonker... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)
For street driving go ahead and cut it out. If you crash with it in, you will fracture your skull on it. |

Yes Rear Hoop is bolted in to top of inner long and the rear firewall Door bars welded to top of inner long I was thinking about using a saws-all to cut the door bars as close to the bottom weld as possible Then grinding the rest down |
