Nevada beige 450bhp syncro

Oi !! Carey, where's all the engine build pictures, best chuffin bit you've left out.

 

Just enjoy this bit first it's not all about the engine it's how it will drive and put the power down

 

Have you found god or something? Lol

 

If I'd found God I wouldnt have to build it before I got to drive it as surely he would have built it for me?

 

He's challenging you.

 

Wow you work fast! Looks awesome and looks like it will be done by April!

 

Thanks

Brackets have arrived from Germany for the rear calipers and got a call today from the laser cutters that the camber/toe brackets are ready to collect so time to get on with mounting the haldex diff then at least driveshafts and prop can be sorted and brake lines can be run!

Haldex controller is nearly there thanks to sparrow (Alex)of DTAfast

Front discs should also be here next week and I need to get on my mates case as he said he has some Porsche rear calipers that I can use on the front, once that lot is here I can get the new wheel bearings in and paint the suspension components

 

Rear calipers brackets and 02m gearbox bracket arrived

 

Rear beam removed this morning will get haldex fitted and coilovers on and tank can go in

 

Welded location bar onto the beam



Then removed original diff and cut out brackets which is right pain then cleaned all the welds back so it was smooth, horrible dirty job but it's done!





Then bolted haldex diff on to location bar



Bolted rear carrier to diff and tack welded in place





Once that was tacked in place front mount was tacked in place so just need to seam weld it together

 

Heavy duty work going on there! Coming together nicely

I feel your pain with all the grinding, only just finished crawling about under the back of mine after an hour of removing underseal with a Zip wheel. lol

 

Lovely job your doing there!! Lol

Should have stayed at work for another hour and finished the welding but I might just go in early tomorrow and get it done, luckily I have a spare beam so the car is still rolling which helps

 

It's ok as long as you get left alone so you can get on with it, Had them laser cut locally

 

Got the welding finished this afternoon so much for going in early!

 

Hopefully get the rear beam back on tomorrow to get drive shafts sorted and engine and box in to get some bits mocked up

 

Big MIG powering down a nice bead

 

Don't want it breaking do we!!

I was using a murex mig before that I had for about 20 years and served me well! But the fabricators next door are using these 180's and for the price they are fantastic was a only on number 4

 

wow they're some tidy welds
Fancy welding in my pedal box? haha

Awesome to see the progress on this
