Earl Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Does that spot usually crack? I don't recall seeing anyone having issues at that point. You would think the control arm would break before that cracks lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think the control arm would break before that cracks lol Exactly my thoughts. Maybe in extreme applications of rage drifting and or fuckery (AKA you crash into a curb) it would crack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jc43089 Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 I welded in in reinforcements from akg to fix the torn bolt hole for the engine mount, my right side was ripped through. Seems like the ball joint mount is sturdy though. Sent from my 831C using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaiserRolls Posted January 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 Reinforcements are welded in Most likely won't be doing the garagistic control arm reinforcements as it seems like massive overkill Next up clean up the diff, por-15 everything DrLeadFoot and Bassboy3313 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now realize that you meant the reinforcements for the front subframe=) Ohhhhhhhh makes sense now. Yeah, I most likely won't be doing them. It seems like a lot of heat to put into 28 year old 'not-that-thick' steel. I honestly have never heard of a subframe failing there either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiserRolls Posted January 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Got out and cleaned everything up tonight. Also removed all of the bushings that were left (trailing arms and diff) Also got the rear hardlines removed from the union. Here's the one that was semi crushed And the other shitty one Tore apart the struts I bought from Ray. If you ever want to watch a half inch socket/wrench fly across the room and dent drywall don't use a spring compressor. It was pretty awesome to see all the shit fly into the wall. The front struts are what I'll be using for my coil overs. They are actually super clean (pics show them as I bought them) the wheel bearings seem to be in great shape. I'll probably just toss them back on the car as is and if one goes I'll replace it then. Kind of a shitty thing is that I had to drill the stupid rotor set screw things out on both hubs, not a huge concern. Just annoying That's where I left off for the night. I need to finish cleaning up under the car & start ordering some parts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiserRolls Posted January 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Gonna get out tonight (hopefully) and get some por-15 on the subframes and trailing arms and diff. Also gonna try and finish cleaning up under the car. Still not sure what I should put on the struts/knuckles. I'll have to see how the por-15 goes on elsewhere. Although I'll be waiting to get coils welded up before anything goes on them Bassboy3313 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaiserRolls Posted January 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Got my diff bushing today. I asked them to draw a trex brushing its teeth. "Gangsta Rex don't got no long arms for his stank mouth" I was not disappointed. Also painting sway bars because I'm bored Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiserRolls Posted January 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Sways all dried and put in the trunk for now. Got the 1st coat of POR-15 on the front & rear subframe, rear trailing arms, subframe plates & lollipops. Will most likely put two more coats on everything eventually (still need to do the opposite sides of them) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiserRolls Posted January 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Got everything coated in por-15 I will be top coating it with some enamel to get some areas and for more protection Pics or it didn't happen This stuff is a pain in the ass and I'm glad I'm done Next step is ordering parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaiserRolls Posted January 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Got the topcoats on all the stuff today. Went with a gloss enamel. Put a shit load on it. Also under coated my car, it probably won't dry correctly. Also took the rack "apart" It looked dicked at first, but it was fine after I cleaned it up. Added some grease on the teeth, took the ps block off back off, drained the crap, added more crap, worked the rack back and forth to get the excess out then put the delete plate back on Getting the struts ready for coils. Also whoever put the inner tierods in hulk-moded them. Vice grips + hammer + swearing and they barely came off. Lock plates were all farked by whoever installed them. It sucked Also aligned my door and fender so it didn't look all borked Also found some evidence of assholes in an air box(not my vehicle)...After I found acorns in my glovebox and kick panel. Set a bunch of traps and left out some coolant for them. I hate rodents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
