[DMCForum] Just don't look at it



Ok. Many of you wanted to know how the front-end welding is going, so 
here's the update:

The car will be done when I get out of work. Total cost: $550.00. 
(including towing). I'll be able to drive it home.

For Bill R: Yes, he used some tube steel in the reconstruction. Hope 
you're happy. ;-)

Even though I forgot to tell him that the steering rack was sliding 
around, he figured that out for himself and realized something was 
missing so he secured it by welding a tab to hold it in place. He put 
a few pieces of box steel from a car frame across the "Y". He says 
this will shore up the control arm mounts.

He said as he worked on it more and more, he became more confident 
that the repair would be a good one. He says he's in "overkill" mode 
now, just making sure that it's strong. He said it'll hold without a 
doubt, it just won't look factory, but it will be a lot neater than 
he thought it would.

I told him I didn't give a d*$^ if it looked factory or not because 
it's under the car. So....if non-factory work makes you queasy, just 
don't look at it.

Sigh...even us closet/wannabe historians gotta bend sometimes.
