damaged strut towers and mushrooming

Many thanks to TonyB for talking me thru the uploading process.

These are photos of the strut towers one alginment shop destroyed trying to set camber - gee wiz, don't these guys know what a ball-end allen key looks like?

damaged strut towers

Medicine kit...plus a little go juice and grinder

Some etching primer

A view of the stone wall I built...makes me feel like I can fix things

finshed, and nice and flat and smooth

finished from another angle


Apologies in advance for the numerous photo screw ups here. Hey, at least I got this far. In reality, I tried to load five photos at once and therein was my problem before. The system does not like that. One at a time now, no troubles.

oops! Where'd you come from?

This is a great advertisement for finding an alignment shop you can trust, with a guy who knows and likes you! I just got mine aligned at a Firestone owned by a fellow NM MINI club member. Perry's my man! He spent 2 hours on my car, letting me get in his way, explaining every thing about the digital alignment equipment and didn't charge a nickel.
The benefits of being a club member, I suppose. At least you got it to look reasonably normal with some paint.

cheers,
