Taking a time out on my rustoration project.

Decided to tackle my problem with the engine lid hinge on my other car.
Late last summer I found the hinge was coming away from the body.
Hinge wasn't cracked. Spot welds were still intact.
The damn firewall had cracked. Right above the top spot welds. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
