Shock towers 74 Spider

Post by 1idman »

Hi

I'm trying to decide if I should fix my 74 Spider or sell it. The drivers side shock tower started to rust and now has a small hole next to the small rubber bumper. Can I remove as much rust and repair or is more serious. the hole is the size of loonie (Canadian Dollar)

shock tower replacement pieces are available from our regular catalogue suppliers. how good are you at welding?

If it's not too bad you may be able to repair it with sheet metal and welding. Shock towers would be a nightmare to replace.
