B Pillar

Post by Clinker42 »

Guys, I seen a pic in one of the members posts that looks like he removed the strip on the outside of the b pillar that fills the gap between the doors. I couldn’t see what he did to fill in the gap that it left. I presume he just welded in a strip to one or both of the doors.

Has anyone else done this, if so could you please post some pics.
Thanks Trev

Bet you wanted the gap central Greg, but back door edge would foul on pillar. Subtle but cool mod guys.

Trevor,

If you make the bottom corners square, the front door will be fine; but the back door will foul on the B-pillar when you open it.
