I know that there are worse ones but it was just plasterd in filler silicone and crap welding.
Tbh it pissed me right off. It was glued to the car and then flipping tack welds here and there
Bent and crap with rot. So I beat the poop out of it. Got a good one spare now so its got
A better front going on soon. Also Front diff flange does a half turn before it does anything :| so ill
Stick another one in. Tomorrow the front suspension will be off ready for some loving
