nice, great work and the welding inner lip worked out well. Now grind, bondo, sand, paint, slam, camber, win.

Thanks for all the positive comments! I just really hope it looks decent never attempted anything like this. Here is some updates from the other side I'm exhausted and have to take a day off tomorrow to work, but should be back at it soon! thanks for following.

Just trying to keep the rust at bay... In the future I will hit these spot inside when I pick up some sheet metal.


I should have gone a little further, but I think it might work with a smaller tire slammed and some negative camber tied in.


Other side. Trying to keep them identical, but this is all kind of new and custom...

Making something from metal is fun as hell

Spent all day trying to cut up and clean the old strut housing. Shortening them 2" and converting them to coilovers . I'm starting to miss the glory of bolt on parts for the G hahaha.







Stripped and undercoated the front inner fenders. Plus new sway bar endlinks and braided brake lines.



love the rust....

Thanks!^

Had the collars professionally done. I wanted a strong weld since it takes all the pressure of the front end. Anyways another update

Each bolt is rusted and pitted its becoming such a pita I have bought so many new bolts...








UPS will be dropping my shortened front springs on wends and I will have another update
