Got the driver side strut tower done. The welds aren't the prettiest, but it's strong. We have everything cut for the passenger side, just ran out of time. Next weekend we'll do the passenger side and I'll finish up cleaning up\treating the rust on the driver side. Pics!
Here's the driver side, after I took care of the loose rust, it's mostly done. Really, the car probably would have been fine with just treating this and leaving it, but where's the fun in that?
Passenger side, looks totally fine, but it will get the same treatment and patch just to be safe:
Before cleaning up for the weld:
Part of the way through the weld, I wish the patch fit a little better but it's good enough:
My buddy, also named Matt. Popular name around here:
He got sick of holding himself up, so I had a bright idea:
Made a good lunch table, too:
Pretty much done welding, it's a ***** welding up side down, but it's strong and probably not even needed in the first place, lol:
Couple coats Of rust resistant underbody spray, I will do more later, we just ran out of time:
And that's about it. Car seems more solid for some reason, but maybe that's just me. I also actually got to use my Retros in the country a bit, but I need to re-aim them and I was embarassed, so no pics yet. I'll get some when I head out there next weekend for the other side.
