Going to have to repair/replace the trunk hinge on the car this winter. It was repaired before.... but it failed in a different spot. I wonder if the trunk lid gasket was too tight and caused this failure?
I am planning on taking the engine out to make it easier to get in there and position it correctly and do a good job welding. How many of you have done this repair leaving the engine in?   I am not an experienced welder and trying to weld it while bent over the fender and trying to even get the mig in there seems too hard. I have already had the engine out twice since last Oct. so I am getting quite good at it. |
