I like the idea of having plates there, mine has been poorly welded in that area which has weekend it so I might just weld them there and get a couple more plates, thanks again guys really appreciate it.

Caught a big one there..

Unfortunatly im no help with the plates.

One thing i know is make sure its all seam welded and you fit them, ive seen first hand what an xe can do to an un strengthened nova gsi.

Looking to weld these in Saturday and I think I'm being stupid with some of these :lol: I know where a few go but others I just can't seem to work out... Any help is highly appreciated.

I've used this thread but some of the pictures aren't very clear
