Great if you get rear ended by a Civic. Hit something of equal mass or really solid (like a big ole tree) and you'll be wishing the car had some give to it.

I would weld it up soon if it was my car. It cracked for a reason, i.e. it was carrying significant load. That load has to go somewhere. Hopefully into something strong enough to take it.

As long as you're not changing the VIN or faking documentation or something like that (i.e. fraud), I say go for it.

YESWELDER machines are cheap and reviews are pretty good. I bought their TIG-205P. Worked well for about a week and then just quit in the middle of a bead. Totally dead. To their credit, they sent me a replacement machine with zero hassles. I've been using that one for over a year now...

Looks like that crack extends right through the shoulder of that spindle. That thing is huge. Scary stuff.

Looks like a resonator to me. Catalytic converters need to be hot to work properly so they are usually closer to the exhaust manifolds.

Yup, my thoughts exactly. That took some serious force to do. I would replace the LCAs and take a hard look at the other parts too.

It's a pretty sad little store. I prefer Ann Arbor Welding Supply big time, but it's like a 45 minute drive from my house.

Very sharp!

Floor stand is from Eastwood. Steel might have been better for the coupler, but the only ones I could find were a lot more expensive. The aluminum one seems to work fine.

I recently motorized my Eastwood bead roller using mostly off-the-shelf components from Amazon. The only thing I had to fabricate was the brackets to hold the junction box and motor. Out of pocket was just under $200 counting everything. Probably used another $20 worth of steel to make the...

Welcome! Looks like a cool project.

Interior rocker panel brace. Rusty original vs the one I made. This one is near the rear of the car. I guessed what the missing portion should look like based of the panel at the front of the car. Looking forward to some warmer weather so I can get the inside of the rockers primed and painted...

Got mine a couple days ago and I'm happy with them.

Not symmetrical, but the same LH and RH sides. The 3 and 4 are probably pattern numbers used for QC in the foundry.

Interested in buying a couple, but your inbox is full.

rickseeman is right. It would technically be a pattern number. The actual molds are made by packing sand with a binder around the patterns.
