Some of you may remember my original post from 2 months ago, where I discovered a fist-sized rust hole in my front spring mount and I wanted to post a quick follow-up.

I'm now happy to announce that the operation was a success and the frame has been patched up and a new reinforced spring mount welded on. This has been the only time in years that I've taken my car to a shop instead of doing it myself but I'm very pleased with the result.

The car also has new dampers, control arms, ball joints and strut bearings and drives like new again.
