feel solid, look a little worse in pictures - I'm trying to assess what I'm working with here and any potential ways forward since solid replacement chassis seem pretty rare.
Apparently this was important when I was researching - 2 people can be inside without targa top and doors still close easy and have the same gaps as with targa top on and no one inside. Repair work was done in the 80's I believe. Long stiffening kit possible? Worth/possible to replace jackpoints? Right know it's blocks of wood screwed to the solid metal to hold the rocker panel plugs. |

Door gaps look Ok, like others have said, go out and drive it. Mine was 10 years old when I had to replace the battery tray and support...Just rusted away and sagging, battery was bungee'd in place . So assume there is rust and collect sheet metal for the future. Looks nice, have fun
