So my door check was toast. I tried the repair kit but the metal was just too stressed to even handle the kit. So I thought why not toss on some classic Ford leather door check straps. 20$ and a few nutserts and we are back in business.

Nice - where did you source the parts?

That looks nice. It doesn't get caught in the seal when you shut the door?

Nope. It's just tacos outward toward the driver.

A lot of the early 911 guys do this mod for their RS, and/or ST and R builds. Somebody actually sells a kit that uses the Porsche tie-down loops.
