That's the service advisor, spouting is his job.I think you might need to have a talk with your guy in the left bay. His flag says he's busy but he's clearly not. He's just standing around, most likely shooting the with the Mac rep....
You and @CarMichael Angelo are soulmates.Go the more difficult route. That way it can cost you more, and take an extreme amount of time to do, and frustrate you with hours of welding and fabrication until there seems no end in sight. Add to that fun with no off-the -shelf parts availability and fitting a square peg into a round hole engine clearance issues only to have that all wrapped up someday in a car that has way more time and money into it that you can ever hope to recoup. Do all of that for the same amount of power that theoretically you can get with a built up engine that will drop right in......it's my mission statement.
Why don't you boost you existing engine? Or still the 1UZ?!?
You got to cut it all out and patch it up, if you don’t find every bit of it, it’ll come back.
This is the hole on the right rear quarter panel I mentioned earlier. It kind of showed up out of nowhere.
Nice margins around it when I wire brush it. Cool, I suck at welding, and my welder isn't the best, nor is it the best for this, but I think I can handle a little 1"x2" patch.
Well, that complicates things, but I still got this, right?
What the? Oh . Well, let's see how much further it goes.
Jesus Tapdancing Christ! What the do I do about this???
@Davedacarpainter @2Blue2 @LILCBRA @rusty428cj @429MII @CarMichael Angelo any advice ya'll have would be appreciated. I'm going to stop there for the night after hitting it with a light coat of Rustoleum to keep the bare metal from flash rusting overnight.
I know that, but what do I do about that structural piece inside? (and the rusted weld)You got to cut it all out and patch it up, if you don’t find every bit of it, it’ll come back.
