We're getting ready to move the project off the rotissere to the lift.
We'd rehung the doors . Pretty scary hanging there on the rotissere. How many 100's should we allow for shrinkage when we reinstall the long? |

QUOTE I don't know jack about such restorations, but I do know that the windshield pillars are very weak and easily moved. I would not brace to them. Its really more about the tub flexing when you flip it upside down. I'd just like to keep it all in place so that some of the metal doesn't create a memory of the wrong position. I need to figure out how to post video's. I'd like to show how much the two ends of the car will move without the long attached. |

Also if you want to talk flexible, you could try an MGB with only the driveline tunnel connecting front and rear. The sills in those cars rust even faster than 914s. |
