I'm BLUE Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 They're all spot welded. If you have to find someone .. it'll cost moolah as you well know. Find a big tree and borrow a chain come-a-long = rest is self explanatory :lol: straighten it out as much as possible. Drillout spot-welds or cut core-support line up and tack-weld in ... check ... and final weld ! Even replace with tubing in main areas would be fine. waaaalaaaa :D If it's just your core support ... you shouldn't have to much trouble just putting in time is all ;) Quote Link to comment
ArchetypeDatsun Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 If I had a welder and knew how to weld I'd be on it but that's not the case, the thing with these core supports there super thin. I've already tried the tree thing and this is a far as it would go even heated the core support. I'm sure it would be a one day job measure cut and weld. Quote Link to comment
72240z Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 That doesnt look too bad. The tree method prob wont pull it anymore because of where your pulling from. It looks like the rad side of the support is pretty close but the front is still crumpled up. You could use a slide hammer for that and JB up the holes. Like DTP said its all time. It's def salvageable. Quote Link to comment
ArchetypeDatsun Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Its just a matter of time till I can get it fixed I got the parts car so thats it's all the matter when I talk to people I know that do good body work just need the money for it. It's hasn't hurt the handling the only thing I wish I could put was the front bumper I know there this old technique using some type of tool that you put to spread the metal straight. It's just bent so to put the bumper it won't line up to bolt it up. Quote Link to comment

lightz Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Bubbi, The stands of your car nice man, I was going 5 bolt but rims was 18x9.5 all round, so i taking it a bit further and send pair in to get a bigger lip put on. So the rims would be 18x15.5 with huge 6" lip but after finding ronals i stop. Quote Link to comment
