(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
Thank you : (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |

Watched the video. Oldie but a goodie.
Another classic example of how shrinkage is no good. Thanks for all the input. Hope to get tangerine kit by the weekend and will be performing the fix then. I know now that I over did my welds which caused the shrinkage. Where there is a will there is a way and I will not let this problem defeat me or my ride. Please continue with the advice and chime in with any additional words of wisdom. Thanks again and much work to do. Gary (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) |
