    New Suspension Install With Terrible Surprise

    We had almost no jobs at work today so my manager let me bring my 323 in to work on it. I already bought new struts and H&R Lowering springs.
    I decided to start off with what I thought was the "hardest" part which was the rears, so I started removing the interior paneling when I saw the gaping hole in my left rear strut tower with surrounding rust spots.

    Now I need to refab my strut towers and I really didn't want to start any major work projects until summer but I can't leave it like this. So now I'm gutting my interior, fixing it up and possibly spraying it with bedliner or gravel guard or something...

    ...and there goes another weekend and another paycheck.

    Pictures to come
    Will probably also post in my new, not yet exciting, worklog

    You can't own a BF and not be surprised that you are slowly hemorrhaging money.

    On the plus side: Now you have the opportunity to look for other hidden surprises.

      Sounds familiar unfortunately



      After my fix


      1988 323 Station Wagon - KLG4 swapped
      1988 323 GT - B6T Powered
      2008 Ford Escape - Rollover Survivor

      1990 Festiva - First Ever Completed KLZE swap (SOLD)

      If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?
