So saturday I had an day of, so I could work an hour or 6 on my car. At the same time we (my brother and I) are swapping an GSI-engine (2ltr 16V) from an Opel kadet E into an Astra F (original 1600).
I worked further on reinforcing the front control arms. At first al the 4 plates were made correct. After that I've drilled them and welded them to the control arms.

This now at 50% finished there will be welded some extra plates so it really becomes an "box".
