Tonight I also worked 2 hours (that I could make free) on my car.

This is the result of al the welding and grinding in the trunk.


Tonight checked the weldings on the underside of the A-pilar, the dashboard and by the sidewindow.

Reinforcing the front control arms

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.

Welded on the control arms.


Grinding the welds smooth.

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

Wow!!! How thick is that plate your adding? Are you planning on doing a lot of off-roading as well? I like the idea of overkill, I'm just a little worried from what I've seen so far that you may be carrying a lot of extra weight when you are done with your project. Coming along nicely though. Can't wait to see your baby rolling!
