Curious as to how to determine if the chassis is stable or fit for autocross for a car without the stiffening add ons.

To help determine this ....pictures and a description of the current chassis would be helpful.

QUOTE(johnhora @ Feb 8 2021, 11:13 AM)  To help determine this ....pictures and a description of the current chassis would be helpful. After everyone's comments I decided to lift the car and take a look. From the bottom, I found holes at both hell holes about 3 inches diameter. Im assuming this is where the drain holes used to be. Difficult to tell how bad the rust since its all completely covered in undercoating underneath (Ziebart?). Also a slit hole 3 inches long where the battery tray rests on the inner fender. Next I will take off the rockers to see if there's any rust there. Jack points and jack holes look ok. I'll take pics when I get a chance. These areas will need to be repaired at some point but are these areas critical to chassis integrity? |
