Body Off Restore
Starting to undertake a body off restore.
Have a question:
I will be replacing the heater channels, so how do I make sure that the holes all align up (bolts though floor into heater channel) when the new
channels are installed.
Floor will also be replaced.
I will be bracing door area etc, so to ensure no sagging.
Is it a matter of making up some form of width jig, one heater channel to another?
Any comments/help in this area would be great.
Thanks

Thanks for that, shall save and study the document.
If money was an issue I would not be doing it, finding the time is the problem.

Anything can be done with money or resources. Money buys resources (including time)

How true. And extra for the WRX motor as in Mick058 case.
But to answer your question, the thread holes within the heater channel should be in the same positions as the original (I say should). Just double
check before you remove a section and replace it with the same replacement section. And take some measurements from a point on the car to the first
hole as an example.
You can go to this site and get the DVD on heater channel replacement. I already have it and a couple of others. Here is the link http://bugmevideo.com/
Good luck, Kevin
