Drilling holes in the top of the shock tower!?
Looking up, through the top of the tower:
You can see the slit, cut in the upper spring mount, to drill from below, to above.
For cripes' sake, what happened here!?
1988 Mazda RX-7
1979 Fiat Spider 2000
1978 3/4 ton Chev 4x4 P/U "FRANKENTRUCK"
1976 Camaro
1972 VW Superbeetle
1969 Ford F100
1968 Mustang coupe
Perhaps someone drilled through a shock to drive a pin through to aid in its removal. I would have taken a die grinder to the shock stud and cut it down to the washer from above.
Is that a tack weld there too thats been drilled out?
