[QUOTE="Makobra, post: 16191425, member: 193575"] After repaired the damage caused by removing the old subframe connectors and removing all the additional material they used I started seam welding the rear of the car around that area. I'll probably just stitch weld critical flex areas connecting to the frame. I need to clean up the welds a bit but I took the pic at this stage so you could get an idea of the direction we are going. [ATTACH=full]1571243[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1571244[/ATTACH] Here you can see where I welded the plates to the rear bulkhead inside the car and the rear subframe connecting to that bulkhead. This stuff is all spot welded from the factory so what I'm doing is just making al the bits from front to back one solid piece reinforcing those spot welds. [ATTACH=full]1571245[/ATTACH] I try to get everything smooth in the metal but whatever I don't get will be filled in with fiber reinforced body filler.
