New shock towers on my 85
OK, I bought the Coil-over part list from Mo's website, www.ndneyes.com
Since the 1985 shock towers are wimpy and narrow, I cut them as seen in the pic below.
Then I machined some 1/4" thick 1018 CRS to match the same angles as the stock towers and ol'RJ welded them up.
The last pic is just the mock up of the new QA1 in the new tower.
We will weld the towers on tomorrow and i will post some new pics in a few days, once the wheel well area is cleaned and repainted,.
