Are you even for real?!

Correct me if im wrong here....but are you honestly going to be attaching your SUBFRAME with that?! I wouldn't attach an air freshener with that incase it fell off and annoyed me.... Sorry but holy jesus..... things like this shouldnt be anywhere near the road...


Genuinely Speechless......

Have you not even realised that this photo was taken part way through doing the job!!!!!!!????????

Would you prefer it if I only posted one picture of the finished product, so you had no idea of what went on to achieve it?


Do you understand what welding is? Do you understand what fusion is? In laymans terms it means to turn two pieces into one piece. It can't fall anywhere because it is the same piece........ This is really very basic stuff.

If you'd paid any attention you'd also see that I've used the original bolts to fit it, so it is the original strength, plus the welding strength. It is very much one piece of metal, vastly stronger than the original section which wasdesigned for popping to the shops and back.


Obviously your not aware of the differences in appearance between mig and tig welding. It won't ever look like the lovely beading you get on custom made exhausts or similar products that use expensive tig setups, even with gas it would look more of a smooth smear, and you wouldn't like the look of that either!


You've obviously never done welding, or even seen it in progress.

I suppose the idea of welding in new sills scares you? Maybe they will fall off!?
What about people who seam weld entire shells to enhance rigidity? Maybe that will fall apart as well!

There will always be people that don't understand, but you should at least think about something before jumping in on it, then you might've realised that you don't know what your looking at.

Try and learn from it, even if you decide that its not something that you want...

This is all a bit worrying.
I assume it will need a proper check to be back on the road as with most engine swaps from a different model of car!? Or I hope so.

depends on the engine, as mine is a kseries car and all I did was drop another k series engine in, which basically mounts the same as the it does OEM. ( swop the engine mount over to the metro one and that was it)

Procta did you bother re-registering?

I know most people don't bother but I fancy doing it legally this time, wouldn't wanna get in trouble for a car that will only get used on sunday mornings
