Hey all,
i've just been on this forum for only a few days and having looking around i have seen some really nice cars in here! Some of you asked if i have more info on the car
so im not sure if mine is up to those standards, but here it goes..
Front suspension.
lower arms are boxed
added a plate in the bottom and p.u. bushings.
Street or Track struts
also there's a 1-1/8"swaybar
upper arms
relocated place for the spring perches
reinforced from the inside
sides plated
roller perches
rear suspension.
brackets for the lower arms,boxed the spring perches as wel.., the front of the arms goes in the stock location
brackets for the upper arms.
made a radical decision, it works better with the trunk floor out of the way..
bar for the coilovers (qa1's ,the competion engeneering units broke really fast, so swapped them for the qa1's)
brackets for the upper body mounts
they go here
everything painted and in place.
shock tower braces.stock ones didn't fit anymore with the new valve covers, i got those from ebay .
first made some cardboard templates
gave them to a buddy, he write programs for a lasercutter and works at a construction company
got the brackets back
welded in some 32mm round bar ,here everything is welded,and in bodyfiller to make it nice
painted
at the same time i had brackets made for the front brakes, since no company had a conversion brackets for the cars, now S.O.T. has..
i used '65 hubs for this..
same goes for the rear brakes,
next is the engine
