POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi! I am hopefully approaching the last meters of my widebody 997 conversion and as I have potential plans of fitting in a turbo engine I wanted to ask for an expert advice as real knowledge seems to be hard to find on the topic. Can I cut the shell from the quarter panel open without losing rigidity from a C4 body to fit in the airducts needed for turbo engine? For a non cabrio this doesn't seem to be an issue as there are plenty of reputable shops doing this. I have read a plenty of opinions so would love to hear some hear some facts instead
