Like an idiot, I welded new floor pans and stiffening kits on my 914 while it was upside down on a rotisserie and also unbraced. Lessons were learned, and the positive door gaps are a constant reminder.
I was thinking about taking out the seats and use a forklift with extended forks to fork down to fix this problem, but was pointed out from a friend that fork lifts don't push down. Can this Celette bench fix this nightmare, and how much would you estimate this to cost? |

From: dropping the motor and the complete suspension and the removing the stiffening kit, then pulling/pushing where necessary and reinstalling a new stiffening kit To: Just dropping the front struts and rear shocks, cutting a relief in the long and then rewelding (and reinforcing) that cut in the correct place. I also made a set of these door jigs awhile back which really help out. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-104-1146079118.jpg) |
