Any idea how to solve bad door clearence, longitudinal repared without stiffening Options

[914Gelb]

Hello Guys,

since many years I'm working on my 914-6 restoration project. Now I have finished most of the jobs like engine and transmission rebuild, electric harness, suspension ..., now it's time for the body work. Normally before I start I try to collect es much information to get a perfect result.

My body was repaired in the past by unexperienced (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) and now I have to fix this badly bodywork. See the pictures and look at the door clearence than you understand.

The question is how can I fix this and if you had the same topic how was it fixed by you.

My longs look a lot like that. Previous owner welded and brazed (!) patches all along the bottom. I bought new metal from RD and I'm in the process of cutting it all out and welding new metal in. I made braces to control the door gaps while the frame is compromised. My gaps may have been bad because of the welding, but I think the rust was a bigger factor- it was just sagging because of weakness. Welding torch, tape measure, and patience should take care of it...
