In my spare time, I am building a TR4 daily driver. I got a street car frame
from another FOT member. It looked good and is in very good shape.
When I had it media blasted, I found cracks on the frame around lower wishbone
mounting brackets, cross member, and near the motor mounts. Keep in mind that
this is a stock TR4 frame not subjected to the stresses of racing.
Had I not had it media blasted, I would never have seen these. Now it is
primed and painted with Eastwood Chassis Black. The build begins..
Just places for you to look in your spare time...
