Hello Guys,

since many years I'm working on my 914-6 restoration project. Now I have finished most of the jobs like engine and transmission rebuild, electric harness, suspension ..., now it's time for the body work. Normally before I start I try to collect es much information to get a perfect result.

My body was repaired in the past by unexperienced (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) and now I have to fix this badly bodywork. See the pictures and look at the door clearence than you understand.

The question is how can I fix this and if you had the same topic how was it fixed by you.
