Title: Plate welding SRA pickup points
Post by: Modulus Two on 10:30:33 AM / 27-Jul-18
It's been a while since I've posted here and so much has happened to my car in that time.
From complete car, to bare shell, to mad turbo KA drift car.

2 weeks back, I was drifting at an event and my chassis sheared. Too much stress and rust has killed the frame.

Is this something that can be repaired? The chassis has a lot of rust in it and I'm torn between trying to save it, scrap it, sell it.
Whats the diagnosis?

Lol, anythings possible. Probably look for another chassis. If i were to repair that, id probably weld the uppers straight and switch to a panhard - your in there anyway, and basically itd be an ae86 then

Right now, the plan is to part this poor thing out and send the chassis to the scrap yard.
If anyone in the midwest wants to buy the roller for parts, hit me up.

How do both fenders look?
