Thank you JMF!

Alright well, my cars body style has a tendency to have the front swaybar seperate from the frame at the brackets, that hold the bushings/swabar in place underneath.

One day, I went to replace my bushings with polyurethane, and this is what I found:







After some choice words to myself, I started to see what I could do. It was obvious that some welding had to be done, and I prayed that it wouldnt be too much of a hassle to take care of. So I called Jim up at JMF and explained my situation, and within a day, my car was on the lift for an evaluation.

He told me it would be maybe an hours worth of work and that for the time being (with my suggestion due to budget), he would weld the cracks flat again, and make it so that it was secure until I could get some other support system that I have been looking at on the MR2 forums.

So today, I went over, and while I waited in the comfy couch in the new office and watched Dirty Jobs, Jim went at it and here is the final product. The shop is HUGE, and very clean and looks well taken care of. All of my questions and requests (to look at the car after certain steps throughout the procedure, etc) were answered and granted, and I could have not felt any better leaving there when the job was done!:







It took him very little time, and the price he charged was amazing!

Thank you SO much to Jim for helping me out in the speed that he did. He was also VERY nice, and very laid back and easy to talk to. I will defiantly be going back to get some exhaust work done in the near future, and then in the farther future, and intake and/exhaust manifold for the turbo motor I have planned to go in.

JMF is thumbs up, top notch!

its actually common enough in mr2's, enough for companies to make a reinforcement bracket.

yeah, the before pictures arent even the worst of it. The part above the left bolt in the first pic actually fell completely out between then and today. It was crazy. But yeah, a company I deal with makes these:



they attach under the bracket, to the stock bolt holes and then it jumps over to a support bar thats on the bottom side of the frunk....

I'll get em eventually, but for now this was awesome.

They are very classy at JMF. They fixed 2 of my cracked rims so far and did a great job.

BTW Troll they have an open house September 14th 11-5. I'm hoping I see some of you there!

[DPancoast]

im gonna try and show up there after work at least just to stop by.

I knew Jimmy could take care of you.


That shop better still be clean. It is brand new! Let that slob Brent have it for awhile and I will be a mess. :P

That's not my fault--It happens when our new clean up boy takes too many smoke breaks with Justin.
