Hello
I have a 1972 914 The passengers side was hit and "repaired by P.O." I have noticed when I close the passengers door it hits the rear quarter panel, chipping the paint. On the opposite end that meets the front fender the gap is wider that the drives side gap. Is there any way to adjust the door forwards towards the front fender? Thanks |

Thanks for all of the advice
Yes the car was hit on the passengers side but "fixed" by P.O. I like the 2x4 and bottle jack idea |

Thanks for all of the advice Yes the car was hit on the passengers side but "fixed" by P.O. I like the 2x4 and bottle jack idea The hinge pillar is way stronger than the latch pillar. Very likely you will just end up crushing the latch pillar. Follow this link: http://www.914world.com/specs/bodydims.php You need to take Measurements. Start with "H" then "I" then "Y" If you get wonky measurements check the other side. If you find the issue post it hear and maybe I can walk you through fixing it correctly. As you work your way through the measurements You may want to remove the targa gasket and measure "F" and "X" Often when guys improperly repair a chassis they just bend the windshield frame so the door wing window seals. |
