Hi guys - hope everyone had a good weekend.

What is the best approach on bracing the doors to make sure the gaps stay good when doing metal work on the longs (or hell hole if also applicable)?

Time to start welding up a custom brace?

My $0.02:

Unless you're on a tight budget, save yourself time and just buy the Tangerine Racing kit. It arrives, you install it and you're focused on fixing your car, not messing about reinventing a wheel that already exists and is well proven.

Get the version that lets you leave the doors on. Makes it nice so you can check gaps as you work.

And re: buy vs build: I prefer spending time working on the car, not on things that let me work on the car. But again, that's me...

Either way, best of luck with the repair - and has been repeated ad infinitum:
remember to weld slowly, let cool, etc, etc.

Agreed, buy them when you finish sell them here.

Ah, agreed. I didn't know those existed.

Thanks
