Greg Brinton was recommended to me for the work. Here is before and after on a car that had only jackpoint rust. And only around the squares and tubes, but I cut it all out, and he wheeled the rest out that you see in the before pics. Talk about great welding! TIG he said. I don't know the freakin difference, but this car was buttoned up tonight and 16 months of work is done!
I have other pics but the list is official Changed out. Mostly by me Brakes Oil cooler jackposts - Brintech valances and rockers - new rockers old valances all powdercoated - EMBEE FI harness Injector gaskets All Fuel Hoses, air and gas filters, gaskets Polished rails, painted injector pipes Full underbody cleaning Gas tank refurbish - Me and Cooper Boggs Pump Vacuum hoses Polished all aluminum inside and out Tires Fog lights Lights Complete Markers Front turn signals all bulbs all fuses and relays Axles and CV's All heater underside parts powdercoating All tuning and lash, timing/dwell Still to go full set of bilsteins full set of elephant bushings lemforder ball joints springs? Underbody strip and reseal Engine detailing front/rear trunk detailing Then I get my 1987 Carrera Coupe on 30 Nov from my bud in CT. That one is clean and mostly done. White with Grey - He is doing the finishing Woohoo! Only took 16 months and an undisclosed sum! AX on Saturday. Hope I don't break anything. John     |

That looks great (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) !! Did the repair get done without cutting into the fender area for room to work ???

Yes
He had to reach up with a very small welding tool that he has had made for especially tight places. He welds like a demon. He also sealed the open clean longs so that NO water can ever get in. He barely made it, and it took him 2 extra hours to get it right, but no fender cuts needed. He is a 25 year welder in all formats.

John - I may need him if some of my welding is too much for me. Is he the guy in Long Beach that Kevin recco'd?
BTW - go with the full Lemforder Turbo Tie Rod Kit (PP, AA, Peli, etc.) if you're going to redo those. I can check at GPR tomorrow if you want (call my cell if so). Don't break it Sat.! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) ... & congratz on the 911 - things must have been resolved! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
