8.8 swap
So i knocked down the strengthening rib that was for the VSS on the drivers side of the 3rd member a bit, and knocked off the nub on the lower left side. I think its now "muy bueno". I used this aggressive rope looking wire wheel on my angle grinder and went medieval on it to strip the rust and scale off. Then hit it with a thin coat of rustoleum rattle can primer. It will be going on the jack stands so i can do the bottom, then the rear cover is coming off so i can pull the axle out and get started with shortening the tube.
