We had snow and freezing rain in northern Virginia today. Nasty weather, but perfect for doing a project I have been putting off. Replaced the front frame cross member. The old one had rust through at the corners and would only get worse. The old bolts came out using a two foot breaker bar with an extra two foot pipe persuader on the end of it. The new cross member was still available from Ecklers and came with a thick powder coat of black paint. Now the bottom of the car finally looks finished and matches all of the new suspension parts.
doorgunner- most lined up, but they welded a nut on the two most forward holes that fasten to the bumper brace. I had to grind them off, since the treaded nuts were already on the other side on the brace, not on the crossmember.
