INVSBL Posted September 29, 2013 Author Report Posted September 29, 2013 so now we have the decision of what motor to swap into it. i had purchased for my self a S13 SR20de that we were going to pull the motor from for this. but my misses had other ideas. she purchased this so now we are pulling the two cars apart in prep to swap the motor. we are going to just put the motor in with the factory loom/cluster ect to get it running then worry bout custom ecu ect later. atm I'm trying to figure out what to do for the fuel system ect. but fun times are ahead. car currently is completely stripped inside with a layer of primer laid down, Bec is currently picking a colour for the inside and the outside as the car is getting a pretty full on make over. also a friend knocked this up which we will chuck on eventually.

INVSBL Posted March 18, 2014 Author Report Posted March 18, 2014 Update on progress with the wagon firstly, purchased some black top 20V itbs then the car was sent off for for the BEAMS install, so modified cross member, gearbox bracket, modified radiator, R31 diff, 4 link and coil springs. Beams in place Trans tunnel and on the driver seat is the new drive shaft. R31 Diff with the 4link ignore the wooden blocks, haven't had time to get the springs in. Thats bout it for now, I have the springs ready to be chopped, and 4 commodore callipers ready to be cleaned and installed. so will be doing that next on the weekend Quote
INVSBL Posted April 8, 2014 Author Report Posted April 8, 2014 (edited) Another update of progress Got the Dual callipers in Got the springs in, cut au falcon rears, 200mm free height, down to 150 compressed Sits the car like this, with no fuel system in the rear. (Yay blurry phone pics) Car will be getting front fenders chopped and welded onto the rear. The wheels tyres are a 15*9 0 with a 195/50 Got the beast tail shaft in And here is a picture of the gearbox X member for good measure. Edited April 8, 2014 by INVSBL Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted April 9, 2014 Report Posted April 9, 2014 Love your work. Not a huge fan of drift pipes but those ones are great. Quote
INVSBL Posted August 25, 2014 Author Report Posted August 25, 2014 Rebecca(owner of the wagon) and I finished all the fuel system in the wagon, and Rebecca welded on a bracket for the Brake line T pieces and now the brake system can be started. some pics of the braided line we did connecting all the tanks/pumps Start of the brake lines, ran out of time before work. more to come, trumpets should be on their way, then start on the basic loom for cluster/starter/alternator/lights, gotta make a hand brake for the master we have, then send it off to get the front tube/tubs done. but thats another day.

cuzzo Posted August 25, 2014 Report Posted August 25, 2014 Loving the fabrication on the diff... Should be nice package when finished. keeping it NA? Quote
INVSBL Posted August 26, 2014 Author Report Posted August 26, 2014 Trumpets arrived today we decided to cut the bonnet out for trumpets clearance, Rebecca got her favourite tool, the grinder and made the first basic opening. Quote
INVSBL Posted August 26, 2014 Author Report Posted August 26, 2014 Loving the fabrication on the diff... Should be nice package when finished. keeping it NA? yeah will be NA for now. Let my partner get used to the car with its NA power, then when she gets bored we might go more power down the line. Quote
altezzaclub Posted August 26, 2014 Report Posted August 26, 2014 Any advantage in standing the rear shocks up vertical?? Doesn't matter if you chop 'n weld a turret in each side of the boot floor, its not regoe'd. Quote
INVSBL Posted August 27, 2014 Author Report Posted August 27, 2014 probs a performance advantage to it, but I'm sure the car will be fine for now. might go coilovers down the line with strut tops and all done vertically down the line. Quote
Hardie_kid Posted January 20, 2015 Report Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) Who made the 4 link brackets? Is that a sedan cage welded in or a custom made one? Thanks Edited January 20, 2015 by Hardie_kid Quote
