What is this horribly crude thing?  It’s a brace for the 35″ spare on Ryan’s YJ. The point being: welding practice.

Welding is not hard.  This is the second thing that Ryan has welded.  The fourth that I have…

Nasty WeldsShame… seriously. I should have bought a welder a long time ago. Car life without a welder is like AE86 life without an LSD. I’m serious. Now I can sneer at all of you welder-less people and make comments about you that you can’t and won’t understand because… I’m better than you.

Warren, came by last night to help us with some welding in the engine bay of the 86. If you’ve never talked to me about our car, you wouldn’t know that we have begun to experience the rapid chassis deterioration in AE86 so often talked about, but seldom corrected. There are various seams all over our car that have begun to separate. Specifically, in the engine bay, the junction of the frame rail and the bulkhead, a couple places on the strut tower, under fender, and the lower rad support. To prolong the life of our AE86 and add some chassis stiffness, we have added over 120 welds in the engine bay. The rear half of the chassis comes next, with focus on the rear shocks towers, and panhard rod pick up. Check out last nights pics. Thanks again Warren![...]
