Janksun Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 For your struts and cutting that spring perch or whatever off, it's easier to use a sawzall and go right above where it's welded to the strut. Go through until you see dirt all the way around. Easy. Took me no less than 5 minutes for both sides Quote Link to comment

Just Joel Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 It also helps to use a cut off wheel rather than a grinder disk ;) 1 Quote Link to comment

Kalani Posted January 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Just seeing what was going on with my floors and thinking as to what im going to do. i was going to por15 it because I saw a bunch of others doing it but I was recommended to soak the floor in "prep and etch" by an electrician from work who does this shit all the time so I am considering it. Since I am a first timer, I have no idea. Busta Nut's solution to the fuckin rat i noticed living in the dime hahah :devil: The one cut in the door panel is the only imperfection on all four so Im stoked!! 2 Quote Link to comment
