79 SC Targa Sagging

Hi All
I have an SC targa which I 'm very fond of
I have the car in a body shop dealing with minor rust issues - the biggest issue i have is the door / panel gaps

The roof aperture appears to have opened by about 6 mm ( 1/4 " to you yanks ) - I'm on the metric side of the pond

its " hogging " not " sagging"

The Sills, rocker panel and B posts are perfect - this appears to be metal fatigue on on a 30+YO car

The body guy is sugesting that cutting 4 no -Imm slots along the inner sill - squeezing up the " Gap" and rewelding the inner sill is a robust economical fix - otherwise we spend $$$$$ and time replacing everything

The Car





I Think this approach make sense .......after all its an SC ......dicuss?

Thanks

Kieran
