lmao. figured the rust bucket would be brought up in this thread... Wow, man... those are bad. mine arent even that bad, youve got rust into your upper control arms and that shit. who ever said parts car hit it on the head... but if youre this motivated then go for it. you'll prolly have to weld the towers to the inner fenderwell and the motor will prolly have to come out. and if you get it done do 2 things. take PLENTY of pics (for future reference for me later :P) and for the love of GOD paint/undercoat/rhinoline the bottom sides of those towers, cause if not, it will happen again. WHY THE FUCK DOES THIS ONLY HAPPEN TO WHITE CARS?!?!?!?! good luck man, keep us in the loop :thumbsup


Well luckily the engine is already out lol I pulled that a week ago. And im defentily having a professional do the work to the towers hes good. Undercoating will be a must. He is just going to cut out my towers as far back as needed and hes gonna weld new ones in. I Have tons of pics I need to upload. I will be taking more once the shock towers are replaced ill take very detailed ones I dont know if I can take any while the work is in progress I may be able to stop at his shop and snap a few ill try. I will also let you guys know how he does the work so incase anyone gets frisky they have an idea.
