All,
I'm considering some of these fibreglass doors for my 914 track car ... http://www.porsche914fibrglass.com/ seems like a cheap(ish) option for lightweight doors - has anyone used / fitted them before ? |

Jim- check out my 'Aussie 914 rebuild' thread-
The '75 doors are HEAVY- was looking for a way for them to be lighter - how hard is it to rip out the door bar? It'll mostly be a track car, with a cage, so not so worried about the door bar protection.... |

It'll mostly be a track car, with a cage, so not so worried about the door bar protection.... Easy to cut out the bars with a "whizz wheel" 3 inch side grinder tool, just be patient & wear eye protection--ear protection, too for me. I cut out the inner framework except for about 1/2 inch around the perimeter, then got at the big bar. Just slide a piece of sheet metal between the outer panel skin and the bar & go at it.... Rigged up a zip tie & scrap serpentine belt pull for the latch, works fine. |
