    Gotta love 80s JDM seats. My dad had an 89 Supra Turbo and those were by far the most comfortable seats I’ve ever sat in. I don’t know your take on this but I’ve seen guys apply an oil based undercoating (not tar or rubber based, those are the devil) to their undercarriages to protect their cars from rusting due to road salts and chemicals. Since it’s oil based and does not dry, your undercarriage will look like crap and look like it’s covered in gunk (which it is). However, that gunk keeps the moisture and road salt away from the precious metal. It might not be a bad idea considering you daily it in the winter and take it off road in the mud.

    @tuckerhenkes4280 5 років тому

    It wouldn’t matter for the seat welding application but if you ever have to weld something with that tack/spot welding technique you never use water to cool of the welds because if there is water left on the part when you weld the arc will split the water molecules and being steel absorbs hydrogen when melted and not when solidified you will get hydrogen porosity making the weld very weak.

I have the motor that came out of it, had a rod knock when I pulled it. Plz message me about if you are interested it would be awesome having something of mine go towards an awesome build! If you do any research on old Toyota 4x4s they are some of the most badass off-roaders out there I have an 83 I built to overland. Again thanks if you read this

    Welding like that doesn't penetrate very well, which results in weak welds. Also cooling it with water shocks the metal and weld, causing it to contract and shrink very quickly which can cause interal cracking of the weld. So those two together made for a very weak weld unfortunately. Not trying to bash or sounds smart, but that's what's holding you in the car, just want you to be safe 👍👍
