Taking a time out on my rustoration project.
Decided to tackle my problem with the engine lid hinge on my other car. Late last summer I found the hinge was coming away from the body. Hinge wasn't cracked. Spot welds were still intact. The damn firewall had cracked. Right above the top spot welds. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)   |
