Final Chassis Stiffening - Strut Tunnel

Last(ish) job to do on the chassis stiffening was to re-inforce the Rear Strut Tunnels. This pic shows the area prepped on the driver's side.


...and here's the passenger side ready to go.



I fabricated the plates out of 1.5mm again. Weld primered and drilled for plug-welds.


Driver side plates welded:


Passenger side plates welded:






The weld obviously came through into the inside of the trunk, scorching the primer there. So that was cleaned up ready to be re-primed.





All of the welding was ground down and then epoxy primed.
