I thought you might be interested in a current project:
(this is why you should never leave your car unattended at zuffenhaus)

a client brought us his really clean '87 Carrera to get a little work - rollbar install, sunroof delete, and driprail removal.


- then, while we are in there, why not a 935 mirror conversion, and FULL rollcage, for SERIOUS trackwork (and rigidity)


Funny, I've missed this for the entire thread. Old news now, LOL. But I see you've done a drip rail delete. Do you grind away alternate sections then (It looks like mig) weld the gap? Hop skipping along? Do you back the gap with a spline of metal? (I'm guessing not) and...is there any loss in chassis/tub stiffness?
Do you then grind the welds (A assume they are linked together continuously) and fill any pinholes with filler?

Thanks, always curious about the process.
