(and knows how to use it  Cheesy )

I have a strut for the MR2 with a cracked end link tab.  The crack goes all the way across the mounting hole, but I think a couple of solid spot welds would fix it right up.  Anyone got the equipment and the experience (and the time) for the job?

My other alternative, since I still have the stock struts, is to swap the spring & shock from the cracked one into the stock one (since the spring & shock are the parts I want to upgrade anyway).  Not sure which choice is more work.

Open to suggestions!   thanks,
b.

Hey thanks!  As it turns out, we swapped the spring and shock into the original strut assembly.
But I'll keep you in mind - I'm really hoping to get a tour of your garage sometime!!  Smiley
