(IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) gents I need your help. I have been busting my arse on this ride and welding in reinforcement brackets that I can no longer close my doors. Tried cutting near the lift points. Car jacked up doors work car down doesn't work. Please offer guidance and personal experience as the car before opened and closed without issue

You are absolutely right. It was one of the saddest day I had in a long time. After having my inner long stiffening kit installed, my gaps look like yours. When jacking my car up my gaps widened like yours. I thought I could stiffen it up and possibly maintain the with long over lay clamps from restoration design. Well the car is much stiffer, but the poor gap is the same. "Nothing wrong with the restoration design clamps, they did what they wee intended to do".
I'm just sick over this, I just really feel bad, hopefully things will work out for you, I'll watch this thread. So sad, maybe there is still hope for my 914. Mike |
