Hi all. I plan on removing the trunk torsion bars permanently. The trunk hindge pivot has ripped from the body. I understand there is replacement trunk hindge that can be welded back in. Unfortornately I dont know how to weld or know any body shop. How hard is it to grind and weld that sucker in with the engine still in the car. Does anybody now of a place willing to take this small job in the 90501 area code.
The other option is to replace the aftermarket trunk pivot replacment that does not require welding, a bolt on replacement. Some comments from anyone that have done this ?? Please help my 914 truck Thanks all Ted |

I installed this mod before I learned how to weld. It's an excellent fix, and a lot stronger than those wimpy pivots could ever hope to be. |

I was going to do a big Derk Wright (whatever his name is) and drop the engine to this mod and bunch of other over due stuff (valve adj, repl the fuel lines, repl the heat exchangers and muffler ?? But I am afraid it will go on and on. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |
