Anyone have to deal with a damaged Frame?
Hey all, I am working on totally re-doing my 1990 36 volt ds. Im sending the motor into Plumb quick and getting all new resistor coils. Heres my situation. I notices that it has been wrecked and the nose of the fame is bent. I am also seeing that most of the welds holding the dash aluminum are broken or cracked. Going to try and have it welded back. Anyone ever had to deal with a tweaked or bad frame?

Re: Anyone have to deal with a damaged Frame?
I am in the final stages of renovation on one that got rammed into something, bending the front bumper in, causing a few welds to break, and stress cracks on both sides of the piece that forms the dash.
There are some of the photos here: http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/elect...n-project.html |

We TIG weld em
If you look close all the old CC have frame cracks in the same spots. Aluminum does that when it flexes too many times. |

Also, several months back I had a Precedent where a kid wrecked it and bent the front structure. I replaced the front structure and beat the frame back. It can be a bit of a "guess and check" procedure, but it can be saved if you're willing to invest the time. [IMG][/IMG] |
