I have the right side inner rocker all welded up as well as the hell hole and jack post. Is now is the time to test fit the doors before I weld in the door sill and quarter pannel? I think it should be fine. I'm concerned the chassis may have warped and I'd like to be sure before I finish the rest of the welding.
Thanks, Rob |

I cut and rewelded the long just forward of the jack post. Then I welded a reenforcement on top of that.
The doors shut, and the top fits. The door gaps look "ok" to me. Should I leave it as is? I don't know if there is any way to make the doors fit any better as the panel fit when I got the 914 was mediocre at best. Is anyone in the Tacoma area experienced in this? -Rob |

I would put the bottom of the quarter panel back up to see if the gap disappears and if so have it pulled.
