^^ Exactly, Amicus - the 1st person to point on that this thing is now an absolute fucking death-trap - that post is what gave the car so much strength to withstand totally folding in an accident - now that's gone and you have none. You're riding around in a cardboard box - I can't believe any professional sane person would work on that, let alone fix new parts like a windshield. This car was designed to behave a certain way when impacted or rolled over - from the drawing board through to manufacture that corner post was designed to move stress around the frame away from the people in the vehicle.
I would not travel in this, and neither should you.
If you got t-boned going through an intersection, the passenger would have no protection, that mangled steel has already served its purpose and absorbed energy, it won't absorb any more, it will fold like wet paper, and anything hard will cut through it and smash the person sat there to death. It wouldn't stand up to a deer strike at low speed, you're a sitting duck on that thing, for christ's sake scrap it immediately and get what you can for it. If I was a cop I would pull you over as soon as I saw you. No insurance is ever going to be valid on this, and you're probably committing an offence just having it on the road.
Come on, man, I'm pleading with you never to drive this thing...- bro you either have some real issues or went through something super traumatic in the past... share!pr2
