Started welding the passenger side subframe connector in today. There is not much I could do until I get my copper backing and some more TIG rod. However, I did make some decent progress.
I will be cutting out the section of the floor that is rusted, this is the reason I did not weld the entire side of the subframe connector. That repair will probably be the next step along with welding the other side on the connector. Since I was at a stopping point I decided to do some painting since the temperature was decent today (low 30s).
As with the floor I also primed the links between the subframe and the connector. All the black paint I used Rustoleum undercoating in an aerosol can. I am happy with how this paint has work thus far. Both links are getting painted black I just wanted to show the stages of progress.
I am going to try to keep the progress coming at a good pace but I got back to work tomorrow so progress is going to slow a little. I still have a lot of work to do on the subframe connectors but I am happy with the progress I made while on vacation. I got done what I wanted to, obviously it would have been nice to get this project done but since I have never done anything like this I am satisfied.
I am hoping to get the other 2 links painted this week giving them plenty of time to dry. I would like to work on more of the welding next weekend, the goal is to have the top side finished by the end of next weekend. This of course is dependent on my copper showing up.
For anyone that has installed DSE subframe connectors I am curious as to how the carpet fit over the subframe connector? I am nearing the point in which I will need to order some carpet, not a huge rush but it will be installed this winter.
