hole in header--before and after pics

[wannarunem]

A hard landing on my ass pushed the body clip completely through the header on my savy. I pulled out the :flamer: and some aluminum welding rods and went to work. It took about 15 min to get the pipe in the shape its in now. Just wanted to let you all know there is an easy fix to punctured headers.

I wanted to work with a clean hole so I used a pair of small pliers and pulled the bent stuff out from the inside of the pipe.

There's an easy fix if you have a welder... I used jb weld and a pipe clamp to fix one of mine. I have to say yours looks a lot better than mine!

JB weld is some awesome stuff I've used that on so many things lol I had a 65 Chevy truck that had a leaking heater core and I couldnt find one anywhere and when I finally did find one it was 75 bucks!! So i broke out the Jb weld and instant fix Nice work on your pipe wannarunem looks almost like new again
