Hi all, from what I understand, the longs are double thickness? Is it the same all the way through the car, as in the top, bottom, and sides of them? Just trying to understand how these cars are built. Photos would really help. Thanks!

This is the cross section of the front part of the longitudinal looking from the rear of the vehicle toward the front. You can clearly make out an additional structural element between the outer sill and the heating duct. It extends to about the lame distance as the rear portion of the A-pillar/bottom of door pillar. The front of mine is gone, but I surmise that it is shaped similar to the front of the outer sill. It appears to provide additional structural rigidity in the area of the sills beneath the door pillar. |
