1. A few months ago I bought a portable garage from harbor freight. |
|
2. It was ok, but I needed more space, so I got another. |
3. Double the workspace. |
|
4. I had to cut out bigger openings to access the frame for welding. One side done here, the other not. |
5. Sighting through the car. |
|
6. Both sides cut. |
7. From the front. Call it custom air conditioning. |
|
8. Looking through the other side. |
9. Getting ready to put the frame in place. |
|
10. We clamped tubes to the car, and plate to the tubes. The new front frame part will be clamped to the plate. |
11. Here it is. |
|
12. The solution to the frame problem. We think it will be strong enough even without putting plate in the triangles. |
13. Welded in place, with the crossmember just sitting on top. |
|
14. Those cross-pieces will eventually come out. |
15. It fits close into the footwell reliefs. |
|
16. From the front with the crossmember welded in. |
17. That's not going anywhere. |
|
18. The suspension through-bolt will have to be put in from the front, but we figured that. |
19. The pedal mounts and the steering mount was left intact. |
|
20. Good strong MIG welds. |
21. Back on the rotisserie fully. |
|
22. Right side up, the frame looks pretty good. |
23. Directions: Remove After Installation. |
|
24. Close clearance on that cut. |
25. I was a lot closer on that than most of my cuts. |
|
26. You can see right out of the trunk. |
27. And the ground through the floor. |
|
28. Next I will be bracing up the cowl against the frame, and will be removing the tunnel. |
29. Through the trunk opening. |
