Under Drivers Wing... Advice Needed Please

[Antpidge92 0]

Hi,

So I have started to restore my 205 1.6 gti and repairing the rust on the inner wing parts " the normal place"..

 

I have done the passengers side and went well but now I have moved on the driver side and I removed the wing and found a "tube" looks like it for strengthening but its it suppose to be there ?? Or has this car been in a crash ??

 

Thanks in advance

its normal, a stiffener added on later cars.

Thank you, is there a reason it's on the divers and not the passenger ??

Ive always wondered that too why only on one side?

 

I might have something to do with keeping the steering column away from your face in a crash seeing as its on the drivers side, pure guess though that
