Nice! That stance is perfect. What size tires are you running? And are you tucking the top of the front tire with the adjustment from the camber plates alone... i.e. 510 strut not 280zx with the narrower track, no adjustable LCA, are the fenders rolled etc... Oics please!!! I've got the same wheels on my 4 door and yours is sitting perfect so I need to know​!

Slowly making progress, and as always more work then we had hoped to do.

 

Chipping shit and ........

trunk pan time

Please remove all paint on both areas before welding panel in. Nope not this one, nightmare, you know who you are. I had to burn the factory paint off between the replacement tub and og trunk floor, so i could weld it together.

Trying a new angle grinder pad, works great. Well worth the $6

I used one of those for the first time just the other day. Best mechanical paint stripper I've ever used. Between those and flap wheels, I'm amazed at the amount of finesse that can be squeezed out of a grinder.

Last pan

This one we sand blasted first

Use the cut out, of the rust pan to cut the donor pan

The welds in the field of the pan are because of hole from the frame rail on the donor pan. Wagons have a frame rail from end to end. 2 door and 4 doors do not.

The donor pan was from a wagon I cut up many years ago.

 

Now on to the fender

This was a quickie that still took a lot of work, looks good. However after finishing a 9.5+ out of 10, its always hard to go back. 

 

It's always fun watching them go from something nobody wants to something someone does want.

 

Sanding and more fucking sanding kids
