I don't think Andrew's CA18DET powered coupe was seam welded. Seam-welding is popular with the rally guys, and has to be done properly. It can actually harden some structural areas and create faultlines.

If Andrew's is not seam welded then I don't think most owners need it, unless rallying to the extreme. Andrew has circuit-raced, hillclimbed and dragged his car, and I don't recall him having alignment or door-fit problems.

Remember race cars aren't supposed to last forever, they eventually crack up from the pounding. So if you don't mind chasing cracks like a brickhome owner in California..then seam welding might be the go.

Chris.
