I had every intention to get more done today than I did… but its hot, and after bending into the car for 4 hours I am beat…. But the crossmember is now in. Todays plan was to get the crossmember in, seat belt mount done, and bolt up the front subframe… and maybe cut offContinue reading “We have a Crossmember”

So this took longer than I thought it would, didn’t come out as clean but the subframe bolts up and most of the not so pretty stuff will be covered. So where to begin?
