Michael Posted Friday at 06:05 AM Share Posted Friday at 06:05 AM On my S30, the firewall was set back. Steps: 1. Weld the whole car to a chassis jig. By this one means 1"x1" uprights to the rocker panels etc, welded to the jig frame (big I-beams). 2. Cut off the front clip, just ahead of the firewall. 3. Cut out the firewall and the floor (area behind seats) in one piece; cut the floor at the rocker panels (which, as we recall, are welded to the chassis jig). 4. Build the roll cage on another jig. 5. Weld the roll cage into the rocker panels and the C-pillars. 6. Cut the floor-pan at the rear seats. Then weld it, and the firewall, back in. 7. Weld-in the rest of the roll cage. 8. Weld-in the front clip. 9. Weld-in diagonals etc. from the roll cage through the firewall to the front strut towers etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
