NOTE:

Body parts -18- and -22- are welded together from plates of different material thicknesses and characteristics and are then deep drawn! Refer to Fig 1 .
Body parts -A-, -B- and -C- possess extremely high tensile strength and are therefore not hot-dip galvanized!
Body parts -1 to 23- attain their final strength only after the production stage of cathodic immersion painting and drying!
The special material properties have effects on body repair. For this reason, only "Original Porsche parts" must be used for repair work!
