here's a couple picture of our rebuild of my buddy's tls, cracked the frame bringing it down from a stand up. so instead of just junking it, we rebuilt it and had some fun in the process.

after the crash, he was able to just coast it off the road thankfully!

some breathing room required... we closed it back up and welded it up once there was enough room

update: took a while to make sure all the wiring and vacuum lines were right and all those damn small bits, but progress is continuing to be made.
it wont be too much longer until she's back on the road again!
