Nope, I have to work in the morning in Portland, just for the day though. It's gonna be an early start to make the drive there, late night for the drive home. But, money is nice.

Who else has Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday off? (Paid off)

Getting all sorts of stoked for Turkey Day. Any other R3V heads like to cook? I'm gonna try my hand at Bacon Wrapped Dates (Shoutout to Matt Larsen, I know he makes them too!)

Like a mother fucking boss.

After 30 minutes my buddy made this rough draft. Some more grinding and cutting and it should fit like a glove. Should have the reinforced subframe back at the end of the day, he will do any and all custom fab work. PM me if you want his info

Teaser:


After closer inspection it turns out its not torn. Just very poorly welded.

actually it came out easier than it went it. Just slid the stand up and under the car and put the tube in the hole.

Why not swap subframe?

I am swapping the subframe, the core I ended up with is already starting to crack also, seems 6 cylinder cars can crack them too. I might as well make sure this doesn't happen again because I drive my car hard

You are welcome to adopt it, small rehoming fee applies ;)

I did, did you not get it? I'm surprised that bottom end fit in there, glad you'll be getting a good motor in that cab here soon!
