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.

After viewing the photos that car is not bad just poorly repaired. I noticed the section on the right where the door threshold sill meets the quarter panel is intact. That's good, these often get rust damage. It's a tricky little transition from the sill to the quarter panel.




Hell hole looks like surface rust for the most part. Both trunks look good.


The chassis jig will work out well. Does it extend back as far as the transaxle mounts? Get the car set up and let's analyze it. You may want to see if you can get a couple cheap laser pointers. you can attach one of those bubble levels the contractors use on string lines and make a cheap laser dimensioning tool.

One of the worst jobs is going to be removing that spray can undercoating. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
