Seam welded most of the engine bay, welded every hole I could see shut, might put a thin layer of bog over some bits but not sure yet, save my pennies and go get some paint and paint the engine bay and interior, but first I have to re do my boot floor as I'm lowering the fuel tank.. also have to finish welding the rear flares on LOL I'm one of this people who starts a job and moves on to another one before finishing it.

 

Also started bending up the brake lines for my hydraulic handbrake, just need to get a flaring tool and some fittings.. I'm using the old fuel line from underneath the car as I'm going to run 6an and 8an fuel hose through the cabin..

 

I got told old fuel line wouldn't be suitable to use as brake line's, is this true ????

Oh and yea. I still have to make a radiator support but I have to wait on my intercooler and radiator/oil cooler to show up so I know where to weld mounts..

[dbr11k]

All welded up, de-holed, thin layer of bog for my rough grinding marks, and ready for a coat of primer...... And the compressor is not playing :(

 

 

 

 

So I spent the rest of the day playing around with my coil overs and lower control arms.. think it needs a bit more pumping of the guards? Lol

man this thing is so so sick, can't wait to see it done :D

[dbr11k]

Thanks mate, makes two of us haha

I've gone from one extreme to the other, if you look back through this thread I was winging about the front not being low enough and now the rears not low enough lol, probably the last thing I will buy suspension wise, adjustable spring perches and lower rear springs..

Thanks mate, makes two of us haha

no ni think that makes about 50 of us.... :D

Haha I give my self till November to get it finished 100% (that's when I get my licence back) but if things keep going I reckon I should have it done by late August / early September ... Only bad thing about that is that I will be constantly begging my mates to tow it to the track for me lmao

engine bay in primer, i'll let it harden up and rub it back on thursday if i get another day off, should have a base coat on it thursday as well

 

also finally made a spanner for the shock shafts and got my cusco camber tops, t3 upper hats, eibach 8kg springs and koni shocks in.. had a play around with the lca's and tops

Brakes finally showed up, I waited four weeks and then decided I will send them a message, they turned around and said "oh sorry we forget to send them out" so anyways another week and they showed up, gonna laugh if I end up gettin two sets lol

 

 

They were a piece of piss to fit, only trouble I ran into was the original caliper bolts were touching the rotors by a pubic hair, nothing the flap disc couldn't fit.. didn't end up painting the engine bay as I've git no money and I need to hire a jet heater.

 

 

 

 

 

Also found this lying in a neighbour's paddock, its had a tree fall on it, obviously lol, its got an 18r, w50 box, and I've been told the diffs are very tough and 1410mm track.. he us waiting ion the scrap truck to come pick it up, so I said ill get a few "little" bits off it before it goes lol cheering

 

 

[mhmills]

Give me the W50. G series diff, 4.38 ratio.

[dbr11k]

Not sure what I'll do with the w50 but the diff is MINE :P

[mhmills]

If I lived in Nsw I'd say dibs. Wanna sell me the yoke off the tailshaft?

[dbr11k]

[mhmills]
