Help! Targa detail picture needed: Alan?

Post by Barry »

Hi all, I'm not there yet, but in the next few days will be welding this area of a targa: its the spot welded seam that joins the b-post to the rear inner wing, that then runs into the targa roll bar. I.e it's the part the door seal goes into.

Trouble is there's so liitle there (on either side) that I can't see how it makes the transition from B-post / pillar to roll bar. What I need is a picture of a car without a door seal in, taken with the door open, covering the top six inches or so of the B-post and the bottom six inches or so of the roll over bar. The area around the B-post is O.K. and once you get a little way up the roll bar it has returned (rust free) but the shape has changed, I just need to know roughly what has happened through the 'rust zone'.

Hope someone's got a picture of this area: thanks in advance :) Or if all else fails, just a description would be great ....

Hi Alan, if you happen to have your camera with you, it might be useful to have a picture as follows:

If you could take a picture of the top of the B-post / base of the roll bar with the camera at 45 degrees to the area, rather than right angles as above: you can see the missing part in the above photo, and its the part that makes the (door?) seal channel a bit wider around the bottom foot or so of the roll bar. Basically there's approx 4 inches missing from the car here, so I can't see how it changes between B-post and roll bar.

Like I say, from the above picture I can at least see where it stops, but would be ideal to see the part side-on if possible.

Don't worry if it's any aggro though :wink: Thanks Alan!
