Re: Porsche 944: Actually there is a substitute

I realized that I needed to get some kind of reference datums going before I got too carried away with stuffing the Ford sheet metal up inside the 944. So I assembled the axle and linkages back onto the sheet metal and then set it up at the correct angle. (When this stuff was still in the Mustang long ago - I had recorded that the lower arm sat at a 2* angle.) With the lower swing arm at 2* down I then made marks on the sheet metal where the CL of the axle is. Then removed the heavy axle and linkage so that I can wrestle with the structural metal more easily up under the car. Next I'm going to add some temp bracing and then whittle a little more of the excess metal off this thing.
