Time for subframe reinforcements.

Time to weld the shit out of it! Pics to come

Why not swap subframe?

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

I drive my car hard

Like a mother fucking boss.

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.

:d

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.

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!)

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.

I picked up shifts today and on thanksgiving. Tomorrow I get double time and a half. Can't pass that up. Thanksgiving is stupid anyways.

Damn! I wish I could work and get double time and a half! CHA CHING!

I've gotta be in long enough today to make sure that all you jerks get your black Friday ads delivered to iPhone and Android without crashing everything and burning down your house.

Should be out in about two hours.

Agreed. Fuck the holidays.

You also want to thicken up around the hole that the motor mount bolts through, they like to tear.

Turns out the core I got was cracked on both sides at the MM "flange". Waiting to get it back from my buddy see how much reinforcement he did. Can't complain he did it for free
