Please Help

Post by beetle_freak_53 »

About 2 months ago I had a F350 side swipe me on the freeway and as you can guess it did do quite a bit of damage to my '77 Std. Beetle. But not unfixable. I'm pretty sure though that the B pillar is push in a little because I can't get my driver door open (that's the side that was hit).

I was wondering if anyone would be so kind as to take a measurement for me on their beetle from the inside of the B pillar on the passenger side to the inside of the B pillar on the driver side in line with the door catch. This way I can see how much I need to push it out.

I don't know how to attach a photo to this post or else I'd show ya'll how sick my baby is.

Just measured it now from the inside of the B pillar to the inside of the B pillar on my '72 Standard.

Measures about 125.5cm.

Hope that helps.
