Yah, I was amazed at the skill it took to cut the car apart with just a Sawzall. Panzer is the man :thumb
Did you get any pictures of the cutting process so we might see a section view of the unibody? I'm interested in seeing the different layers of metal and how they mate up. :popcorn It would help us when we are repairing rusty sections. ^o)

Ya, they are hard to find without the mirrors being busted up. I found mine for my 93 Metro off of a 94 swift sedan and they just so happened to be the same color as my car :thumb
Good luck on your search

Sorry I didn't, Panzer did it while I was at work and to be honest we didn't even think about it at the time. I do remember seeing a post not to long ago that had a cross section of the lower door sill. I tried finding the post but I had no such luck. I'm sure sombody will remember which post it was exactly.

Yes, that's the one! Thanks CAMI MAN! I just wish I would have taken pics of the floor being cut in half :banghead It might have helped someone. BTW I don't mind the (clutter ) being on my thread, if it helps someone down the line. Next week I'll be dealing with the black gti. Cleaning, maintenance, getting it running, etc. :lol Oh and if I haven't said it before love your car :rocker
