Can you open up the door and actually just get a place or do it yur self and weld or bolt a aluminum side impact beam or bar into the doors. i am serious, i actually love the design of this year of the 911 but i would be scared to drive this and be worried that if i were hit i would get hurt very badly. i would probly do this to the doors because of this year the doors are very weak and if a car or truck comes by and hits my side then the car will just collaps in. i would also but a roll cage into the porsche too. if i can't do this to the doors. also can you and a flat bar of steel right before the foot well to theres lots of protect in a frontal accident and can i also add a steel flat bar but smaller between the engine and the backs of the rear sets. also this is just a fun question of this year of this porsche would yo.u rather have a coupe, cabriolet, or targa

Not knowing what year of one of the best cars in the world were talking about. Actually by 1980 Porsche had side impact steel tubing inside the door in the USA.Besides side impact has never been a problem with the iconic design of the Porsche 911. I used to tell my turbo owners if you can keep from wrecking this car the first year then you have done something! If you doubt me just pull the door panel and look inside about six or seven inches down from the belt line for the beam. US government mandated bumper height and the 1973 bumper standard caused lots of manufactures to rethink safety. Learning to drive the 911 is the best thing you can do sign up for a drivers school PCA clubs all over Have track time. Go out loose your fear about motoring around in a car that can drive circles around almost anything out there with stock tires and rims

Wow why don't you buy a Hummer H1 that is the only car it sounds like you would feel safe in. As to the rest of your question. Yes you could do all those things all you need is time, money and some major body skills.

I like the Targa.
If you are that scared, maby this isn't the car for you. By the time you install all that stuff you won't have any room left in it.
Anyways, it is all do-able, but why?

reinforced steel would work better - it's standard on the volvo platforms.
