santanawhite Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 OK im working on my car tearing it down and as we all know we are bound to find our cars dirty little secrets. After i took the passenger fender off i noticed the support was bent and had some booty work done. I have a 260z parts car i was thinking of just replacing that part and welding it back straight. Also the rear passenger shock tower had some work done. Looks like it has some wrinkling around it, im not sure what happened with it. Anyone have any ideas on how i should go about fixing the trunk floor around that area. I took measurements and it all seems straight according to the measurements from the factory chassis dimensions. This is the Driver side shock tower for comparison, no work seems to have been done here. Also theres no wrinkling around it either. Help is really appreciated.

redneck1545 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I honestly wouldn't even worry about the front support. Make some U channel and weld it over it if your that worried about it. The damage is ahead of the strut support and thats really the only place you should be concerned about. Our cars are known to have wrinkles and the rear strut brace looks like it was cut and welded back together. I would plan on cleaning up the welds and adding a rear strut tower brace. Are you planning on building a cage for this car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluDestiny Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 WTF? Sarcasm doesn't translate well over the internet john, I have no experience with crinkled frames. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
