Another day in the garage passed.. I took up the challenge of the rear inner wheeltubs. What I feared for turned out to be very true: previous welding made working on this neatly damn near impossible.
It was worth doing though since I found tons of rust between the welded sections, and I needed to get the spring perch out anyway to be able to fix the hole in the framerail. Just getting it cleaned up took me a whole day and Im not done yet... Here's how it began: Panhard support opened: The offending springperch: Tools of the trade: Peepwhole: Bathed it in acid: I'm afraid it's never going back to stock ae86 rear suspension.. too much work to get things back in shape and probably too much cost since I will need the spring perches new (if they are at all available). Will be on the lookout for some escort weld in turrets or just build some myself. FABRICA MI DIEM, PVNC! |
