Re: Porsche 944: Actually there is a substitute

Continuing to prep for engine bay surgery. The Mustang donor bay is a little leaner now. I drilled out the firewall panel spot welds and popped it off and have shaved off the upper fender "horns". This is about as much trimming as I will do for now.

The 944 can't be cut on until I can reinforce the nose and floorboard area so that it can survive the trauma of losing the firewall and most of the bay.

So I created an "exoskeleton" to help keep the fenders and grille area stationary. It is my sincere hope that this effort was total overkill and that I didn't need to do it. However should I accidentally kick or nudge the Porsche over the next few weeks I hope my weird cage will keep it all aligned. How do you like my high tech design drawings?
