JMotor Posted Sunday at 18:57 Author Share Posted Sunday at 18:57 Weekend came. Corsa B time. I replaced the front crossmember a few years back. I did weld it in and made sure it was glued in well. What if I hadn't done a good enough job!? I also LOVE* making work for myself. These plates are needed for Turbo swapped cars. Totally overkill for a 1.8! Figured having the tie rod area beefed up couldn't hurt. Right! Cracked on with welding these plates in. Passenger side welds are better. I was able to dial my technique in by then. Drivers isn't great, but there was enough heat in the weld to take a good hold. Rubbed down the crossmember to slap some red oxide on. Then that reacted with some paint I threw on it years ago. Duck it! I'll let it dry and worry about it another time. Matty, Dyslexic Viking and mercedade 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
