QUOTE(didenpx @ Dec 2 2024, 05:14 PM)  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. I would bet that piece is not structural. It has very few welds, doesn’t span the full distance Betcha that is strictly to keep the heating tube rigid |

@Brant I’m referring to the piece between the heating duct and the outer sill; maybe the picture doesn’t capture this, but there is no connection between that piece and the duct. I think it was intended to add more rigidity to this part of the structure.

That piece is an extension of the wheel well and ties it in to the structure of the longs and door pillar. If you zoom in on that area of the attached pic it should be clear. The outer clamshell goes over that piece and then the door pillar goes on top of that.
