QUOTE(bigkensteele @ Nov 20 2009, 01:39 PM)  I was at HF this morning looking at engine stand for this various purpose. I was wondering how to to solve the problem with the slight upward angle of the pivot, and then I come home to see this! Fortuitous. Would a 110v mig welder be sufficient to build a rotis, or would I need to hire a local welder to come out and put some heavy beads on it? YES! I used a 110 on mine, and it worked like a champ. I used the hottest heat setting and a wire speed of ~3. You have to do a little geometry to correct the stupid HF engine stand angle. And I put a big cutting disk on my electric mitre saw to cut the stock perfectly. it is SO much easier to weld up 1/8inch wall clean steel then sheet. The whole thing went together like a dream. AND, when I sold it I made ~ $100 profit too (over the cost of parts). Zach |

I got 90% of my welding done. Most of the holes are filled. All the rust has been removed except the small corner on the flag that I will tackle this week. My next challenge is the tunnel from the under side... do I need to fix it? The car worked great driving it but I dont want to have to open it up again later...
Here are some pictures. = ) Eric It looks as though they hit a rock and the car bounced on it down the tunnel area... So there are really 2 maybe 3 areas that need to be pulled out if thats what needs to be done...      |

On the third picture... Where it shows the rear stiffening kit installed... I added an extra piece to extend the kit all the way down past the support. Figured it would just help make things a bit stronger.
I talked to Brad and got his Chassis stiffening kit. I cut the jack tube out in preperation for the kit thats coming in the mail. = ) Engman Internal Long Kit Rear Stiffening Kit Brad Mayer External Chassis Kit Tangerine's Ear stuffening kit Tangerine's Front sway bar support 19 MM Front Sway Bar Bilstien Gas Charged Struts 140 LBS springs in the rear Koni rebuilt adjustable shocks in the rear .... Hope its strong enough to handle the stock 1.7 with baby webers I am installing in her.... LOL Eric      |

More Pictures. I got the Rob Mayeur Long Kit installed. Nice easy job and it comes out really clean. So the rear end now has the Rob Mayeur long kit connected to a Rear end stiffening kit. The upper arm that has all that extra steel isnt going to budge... I decided not to box my rear trailing arms... I figure I want the car to be more solid than I can stand and the arms be weak. That way if I slide into a curb, it might only be changing a rear trailing arm not bending the frame. Good stuff.
