This is a friends primary driver, so fast repair was critical.

You may note a few tabs that I welded on to use as pull points.

The total time was two days.

I used a 3 ton chain come-along, similar to the attached picture.

I'm amazed by the lack of rust on this car, since it is a daily driver. Any secrets?
