Small update today.

FULLY seam welded the subframe... phewf that was a lot of work, but feels great knowing that it should improve the stiffness/safety at least a little bit.

The driver's side front body mount was a little pitted, but still had good thickness so I decided not to replace it, but I did weld an 1/8" plate on the bottom side to help reinforce it, just in case...


Metalwork is fun!! OK the welds might not be perfect, but this will sure as hell be strong...


...especially when compared to what it looked like an hour earlier...


A little grinding and it's allllll good...

And a little paint and no one's the wiser. PS.. I'm pretty proud of the job I did considering it was my very first time for doing some rust repair/serious metal work...
