I pulled my rockers for the first time today. This is what I found on the passenger side. It is a hole about the size of a quarter. I poked around with a screw driver and this is all I found. The drivers side is perfect. What is the verdict? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/welder.gif) Eddy

is there a way to correct the gaps?

aehm. yes. did you look at my posts?

you'll need to get the car back to the factory specs. that means *bending* the tub back to where it belongs.
then hold it there with braces.
then repair the longs ...

the exact measurements can be found in the "914 Info" section.

btw. the *more* you take off your car (weight) the easier it'll be to pull it back without you having to rent time on a celette bench (expensive but *the right way* to do this) ...

you'll be able to pull/push the frame back where it belongs, use braces with adjusteable length (threads) for fine tuning ...

depending on how much the PO welded on the hell hole, you might have to cut that all out again, as it will make it easier for you to move the frame back ...
