Slave for a weekend. THANKS Alfa!
I spent the whole weekend working on this, the turret is so strong you can lift the car from this point. I got some zinc coating on the turret inside -out and around the big hole i created on the GTV...
The lower part of the turret (bottom circular piece-spring housing) was hit by the absorber in one point , so i straightened it out.
The top piece is spot welded on the right wheel arc and the part that joins the backseat is slid under 3 pieces(?) of sheet metal and spot welded
I can't do that and i can't just weld it onto the backseat as if god forbid i run into this problem later cutting the piece near the backseat is almost impossible with an angled grinder. So spot welds on the backseat also.
P.S. The place where the turrets are situated is a tough place to work.
Most of the job is done from inside the car from the backseat. There's little space to move around and place the tools correctly where you want them.
WENDING ON ZINC plated sheets CAN K-I-L-L YOU!
The fumes are deadly watch out.
