    I am thinking of converting a GSI to a C20LET. I'll be buying the chassis strengthening plating kit but is it necessary to do the stitch welding?

    always advisable and easy to do really while the welder is already out.

    Do I do the stitch welding before I weld the plates on? Also where does the stitch welding need to be done? Has anyone got any pics of their engine bays?

    this is my first attempt at stitch/seam welding a nova bay, its a piece of piss to be honest bit of a kant on a mk2 nova as there is seam sealer everywhere! I also did around the engine and box mounts as im not using a weld in kit. Just start on 1 side and follow the seams! Easy peasy

    I would say you should be ok without doing it, but if you can weld etc I would do it anyway just for the added strength and piece of mind etc
