Torque Boxes...look -->

First pic: Cracks around torque box.. It had been welded up before, but rather poorly since it cracked all around the welds too.

Pic2: Plates welded around and under the box joined to the subframe connector. Should hold 250 hp now

Sorry. Whaddya think froom the pic? Does it look decent?
I can say I feel the road better. Especially locating them to the subframes.

Next fix will be plates on top of the torque boxes (inside car) and a roll-bar welded to the plates.
