Cut wheel wells dd?.... Help

[S13keslerj]

So I cut my wheel wells out of my s13 they was completely rusted and I painted my bay totally forgetting to put some bars back in and I don't want to do it then have to repaint again, from what I read the s13 wheel wells have no stucture support and I kinda thought the same thing because of how thin they are in the first place. What I'm asking is will the shock towers be fine and no bend or anything. IF I have to I'll sand and put some in and repaint but I'd pefer not to. The roads where I live are decent not to many pot holes or bumps in the roads. There are some not not major and I pretty much know when to avoid them and where they are.

Your bay will just be disgusting, caked with dirt and road grime, probably get some rock chips

I'd like to see someone do some removable plastic covers for this

This is so wrong. Look at the strut tower from the top, it's surrounded by metal (the wheelwell). You've removed 1/3 of that material; and therefore, strength.

You will get chocolate chips all over your vanilla.

is this your bay?? If not post an actual photo. If all you've removed is the metal that is in front of the strut tower after the factory seams then you should be fine, but please post an actual photo as I stated before.

your engine bay will look like an 18 wheeler's dirty mud flap

This is the actual bay. It's not the best job but it looks better than it did. I didn't cut the seams or anything I put some rubber over where I cut right at the seams.

To everyone else I know that if there is a dirt road or such it will get dirty as hell. But I'm not going to drive is as much as I planned.

I was thinking the same thing at the same time thinking that it's not much strength of any at all.

[S13keslerj]

Atleast no one is flaming yet just thought I'd ask and get some answers before I actually get everything together

There was I guy I seen on here make removable aluminum ones

[S13keslerj]

I'm just going ahead and saying again, the only reason I cut that much out was because the wheels wells was rusted to shit and wasn't worth fixing. I could make some bolt in tubes so I wouldn't have to sand the paint down to weld and repaint but idk if that would work

[Reece]

Might as well repaint the whole thing and get some sort of protection in there, that fresh paint will be fucked after a few days of driving.

Doing shit out of order

[Bnr32gtr]

bay will look like total shit in no time at all, 10 good drives on just black top. Will be impossible to keep clean. To answer your question tho you'll be fine

[TheRealSy90]

Why not weld in some new tubs.

[ixfxi]

this is a terrible idea
