well the FIX has started. it started with pulling the subframe to get clear access to everything

Bracing the motor


supporting the frame to be remove




Veiw of the full damage... there was a surprise awaiting me on the other side..

Other side was cracking too

My buddy tony doing the welding

welded the crack closed

then replaced the factory plating

All clean and ready for final work


the other side...
I cut out all the thin rusted metal

opened up an access hole in the wheel well to re attach the subframe later (bolt doesnt hold itself in place anymore)


then I made templets to trace out onto the 1/4" plate steel thats coming for this repair



This is how far I am now, im waiting on the steel now, hopfully it will be fixed within the next two days

Good to see Pete

lots of work....but looks like its coming along

Peter....WTH do you have a FRAM filter on??? :?

Because I had 4 before I knew they where not the best. I'll use them up, then go K&N

Man, cars rust up there worse than michigan

That really sucks considering you put all the effort in the paint job...oh well. the fix looks good so far.

Pete, the repairs are looking good, and VERY "easy" for the shop to do. I'm fully confident that mine can be fixed very easily now.

PM sent.

Lookin good

Wow, thats excellent.

you gonna coat it inside and out with rust preventative? seems like the perfect opportunity.

That really is a great welding job. If you rustproof, what are you going to use?

Looks like a good amount of work Pete. You didn't mention pulling the trans to get better access to the area. At least it looks like you pulled it.
