JMotor's project car thread. Corsa B progress!

[JMotor]

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.
