Re: G60 in a MK1, reinforcing



I am on my third MK1 body in four years due to rust and toooo much 
power (if there is such a thing).  My first to split at the door 
channels.  The windshield is held in by a gasket, not glued like most 
cars.  Over time the gasket cracks and water leaks down into the 
window frame, rusting through and leaking down into the door 
channels.  Both of my bodies let loose, the first one was while 
drivng,(YEEE  HAAA!!!!).  The car basically split in two at the 
firewall.  When the second body started to flex at the firewall, I 
replaced it yet again.  My now third body went directly from the 
boneyard to a body shop.  I had plates welded into the door channels 
and new rocker pannels welded in.  I would recommend the same for 
you.

Also. both front stress bars will be a MUST with the G60.
