This won't be the last stupid question, but- why remove the torsion bar crossmember? If nothing else, you've made it very difficult to install subframe connectors. Am I missing something here?  :clueless:

I would be surprised if that is an A66 code car because part of the A66 package was the delete for wheel well chrome trim.  Definately chrome trim on those wheel wells.  Really love to see the fender tag.   :bigsmile:

That cross member was rotted at the ends, past the front frame rails, I do have another I am replacing it with, just never got around to it yesterday, being on a farm things break and have to go and fix them...

Gotcha. Growing up friends with farmers, I totally get you about repairing stuff; it's constant and a necessity but it's still a PITA sometimes. You're making pretty good progress- good luck!  :thumbsup:
