yeah, this trick has been around for a while. a European guy (zooloo) figured it out, i believe.

nice! i'll have to scour your build/pics thread for ideas. ;) haha

hmm. i'm sure i can figure out something to help brace that area up as well. i'll dig around for pics later, and if i find them, i'll post them in here. (and start planning how to replicate them)

pics of said rusty tire well: yikes! however, the rest of the car is solid, except a bit of rust in the wheel wells, which bryan might look at for me as well.

justin: that was my intention, but i couldn't find an '89+ subframe. :( ian: do you have pics handy of the extra bracing? can extra bracing be welded onto mine to make it like the '89+? bryan is pretty damn handy with a welder!

justin: thanks! it will be uber clean when i put it back in. :) ian: oh hell yeah. you should see the spare tire well. :( i'm cutting it out completely and replacing it.

most certainly- but i don't drive it in the snow, or the rain. ;) i'll also be getting aftermarket traction bars, and whatever other goodies i can pop in down there. :) i'm open to suggestions!

here's another update, finally! i worked on the rear subframe today, got it completely stripped and ready for sandblasting. i also discovered (though, not difficult) a huge crack going right through the subframe over the differential. yes, it's ALL THE WAY through! yikes! pics tell all: first...

best $50 (or less?) i ever spent.

QFT.

quit the name calling. do we all wear big kid's clothes now? time to prove it. :nono:

i have a cell phone.

ugh. that's not what i wanted to hear. maybe i should just save the few things i have on this comp, and put xp on it. :/ i can't stand the thought of wiping out everything on a brand new computer...

heh, what!? problems with the car, or behind the wheel? ;)

i was going to say that drjonez has been doing it for years, but he already posted. :)

^ i love the custom upper A arms!

it depends on how patient you are for getting parts cheap. and why is this in the suggestion box area? thread moved.

hey joel, haven't seen you around much! glad your dad (and the others) are alright! that's crazy good luck! (mixed with some skill for landing a plane with no landing gear!)

i just bought a brand new dell desktop, and i would just like to say that i despise vista. :(

we miss you! you're still FTMFW, even if you hate us all. :(
