Not been happy with the rear beam for a while. Was powdercoated few years ago & starting to get tatty.
Also now iam on rear coilovers i dont like the fact the weight of the car at the rear sits on shock brackets not designed to take the weight.
So today off it came

Will take to work this week to get brakets welded on then powder coaters owe me a favour i will be calling in so hopefully soon back & putting back together.

Great work Martin!

Sweet those tabs should take the weight a bit better! I thought powdercoat would have lasted for more than two years.
