Any idea how to solve bad door clearence, longitudinal repared without stiffening Options

[914Gelb]

Hello Guys,

since many years I'm working on my 914-6 restoration project. Now I have finished most of the jobs like engine and transmission rebuild, electric harness, suspension ..., now it's time for the body work. Normally before I start I try to collect es much information to get a perfect result.

My body was repaired in the past by unexperienced (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) and now I have to fix this badly bodywork. See the pictures and look at the door clearence than you understand.

The question is how can I fix this and if you had the same topic how was it fixed by you.

looks like a pretty decent six, other than needing a hip replacement....was it yellow then green now red ???
the inner long, in Germany looks to be perfect compared to the RD one..the bottom flange even has the correct stamped impressions...here is a link;

This is the part that you want to do the repair with. I'm in the same place as you on a repair to my 6. I also have the RD parts on hand but after taking a long hard look at things want the org parts for my repair. I even emailed the above company to see if they would ship to the US. At first their ad said they would ship to the US but now it's " may not ship to US". They did get back to me with a shipping cost of 100 Euro's plus whatever other fee's are involved. I get the feeling they do not want to ship to the US for whatever reason. If you need a replacement long for the drivers side I believe RD now carries a copy of the org part. I've searched for a while now looking for some oem panels and did locate some for my repair. There's a few items still on my list with the factory right long being one of them. Best of luck on locating the parts you may need. Another way is to buy a usable parts car to harvest the metal from.

BTW take lots of measurements prior to cutting and welding the car back up.
I've started making a custom chassis brace for my car. This should keep things inline when welding it back together.
