Pleasure ?
Accomplishment? Lack of self esteem? This is how I spent each evening this week. Cutting out the safety rail & fixing the dents behind the rail. Mr. Sixnotfour said "oh that's easy"....... I don't think so....I'm just looking for some ideas ...what's my motivation for this pain? Attached image(s)

Come on now, you know you need to cut it out of the passenger side too. Besides, now you've figured it out.
I'm telling you, if you don't cut it out, your tires will wear wrong and the car will corner funny |

Now you would be really obsessed if you;
Weigh the cross bar sections, drill holes to lighten it, re-weigh it so you know how much weight you removed, then weld it all back in. Of course, you will have to remove the door skin in order to weld it back in correctly. A replacement door skin should still be available through Porsche for around $2500. (but is on a 5 month back-order) Then, as posted prior, you would have to do the same thing to the other door in order to have the car balanced. Wes |

I am sure he meant "lack of self-esteem". Put another way, you are ego-dystonic with your persona... You needed to do this to prove your worth to the "World". Having accomplished this you are now ego-syntonic with your image. Now that you are a happy guy maybe you could show us more pictures of the General's bilaterally-symetrical supra-costal sub-epithelial exocrine tissue?
Ask a philisophical question, expect a complicated answer! By the way, how much did your cuttings weigh? |

I have a set of 73 doors and some off a 75 for parts and the newer ones weigh so much more.
That could be partly due to all the sanding I've done on the 73s trying to make it smooth as glass. By the way, I couldn't handle that the paint on my doors, hood and trunk were not perfect, so I'm sanding off the clear coat and redoing them! See your not alone in your desease. |

Are you taking about Boobs somewhere in that paragraph? Using my "white collar" intellect , standing on the bathroom scale with these rails in hand it reads 189 lbs. Without the rails ( just me) it reads 175 lbs. I guess the answer to the weight is 14 lbs! Definitely worth four nights of my time although the passenger side is staying as is. |

New and improved "Safety Protection" Innovative "two piece" construction! (some welding & assembly required) I'm not sure on the asking price? Attached image(s)
