^Um… stitch welding takes a LONG ass time. I just finished up A DC2 Integra… well over 60hours of straight welding. That NOT including prep… And that was just in the engine bay. Therefore. It’s not going to be cheap. Especially at shop rates. Just a little FYI. ---

whats the purpose of all this ? do any of you guys race at mosport ? or track your cars that much to justify stitch welding/ additional bracing? ---

I’am personally doing it because I need some rust fixed so might as well strengthen my chassis + its an old car.
