i just unhooked my battery to charge it (it's been sitting all winter) and was HORRIFIED at what I saw. I'm surprised my damn battery didnt fall straight through the trunk!! :eek:

I need someone in the northern nj region who can weld me up a reinforcement plate before the car hits the road for the spring time. Heres a pic so you have an idea of what you're dealing with.

Any body shop can fix that for you MIG-WELD

Also buy a battery mat for the future...if you are handy you can cut a piece of metal and buy the wire needed for a MIG-WELD job, you can buy the machine for about $100+ at Sears.

Why bother fixing it? Just JB Weld it and spray paint it Tweety Bird yellow so it matches then sell the thing. LOL
Get Wiseguy to do it...

Instead of using JB Weld I was just going to use plywood :dunno
I think I'm going to have to sell it, I cant get insurance on it for under $500 a month. What 19 year old in their right mind wants to pay $6,000 a year for car insurance!?!?

send a pm to Mike Radowski, he can weld it up for you and he's located in Linden, not to far from where MSR used to be.
