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 |

Think this mod thru...I'm in the same boat. Both my hinge points were broken so I figured I'd pull the engine, clean the engine bay and then send it to a body shop to reweld hinges along with marker light holes and repaint. I'm finding it hard to find anyone that will reweld new hinge points, especially since the car is no longer drivable w/o an engine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Seems locating the replacement metal gets tricky after you grind off the old.
By the way, if you find someone capable in the area, please let me know. Kev |
