Got my wheels finally.
R32 gtst fronts and r32 gtr rears.
Polished the lip on the wheels as gtr ones were badly kerbed so filed and sanded till smooth. Now just need to paint centre of front wheels then can get tyres fitted.
Fitted front brakes and calipers clear easily :-)

Gearbox mount done. Made a collar from round tube so crossmember is sealed.

Hello all just an update.
I sent my hubs off to get engineered so my rotors fit. Should pick them up in a couple of weeks.
I also bought some r32 gtst wheels for the front of rolla and have some r32 gtr wheels coming soon for the back.

Mitsubishi evo8 seat trimmed to fit corolla.
Back cushion n3eds a bit more trimming and bending to fit wheel arch and sit flat.
More foam to be added to bottom cushion so it sits on the floor too.
And gearbox mount. I have managed to use the stock honda mount which has vibration dampeners on it. And that is mated to two 49 flathead ford v8 engine mounts, which I have also used to mount engine. Half way through gearbox crossmember. Hopefully finished tomorrow.
-
Did you work out wheel offset yet or you too busy with the body work?
Do you know if you gunna two pack it or acrylic it yourself?
-
Hopefully tomorrow I can redo gearbox mount as I made it too short before as engine was sitting further forward.
Ill also try to get trans tunnel cut down and installed and if there is time fab up some seat mounts to mount the recaros :-)
-
Cheers rob.
Some more progress as ive been at home for last few weeks after having surgery.
Sub box in wheel well and with floor installed.
Strut cut down ready to be sent to shockworks for coilovers.
engine crossmember and mount installed. Ke30 chassis rails warped while sitting on jack stands so had to pull it back together with steel rope and winch.
-
I finally got my crossmember back so can now mount engine and box and weld floor in. Then ill be in the same place as you. Are you gunna be using dynamat or similar?
-
Yeah looks good mate. Go well with plenty of chrome :-). Hows the body work coming along. I dread bodywork... last thing I'm doing lolol
-
Must keep in mind not to try to run stock looking mustard ke20 wagon at lights haha.
-
Nice work mate. Your fabrication work is amazing.love the colour on that brown car to.
-
Looking good rob. Do you know what colour you going to be painting it at this stage?
-
Looking nice mate. I been watching it the whole time. They look like more mods for engine swap over ke30 caus they much smaller. Keen to see it done
-
You can have rotors machined but only within reason. Not too much can be removed from them. Hub mounting face can be cut down, diameter can be reduced, disc face can be done slightly and hub bore can be taken out a few mm. Just contact a machine shop and see what they are happy to do for you.
-
Engine mounts and crossmember came out amazing.
-
My mk1 golf chin spoiler needs a bit of a trim. But will look good.
Ive decided to put the front indicators in the grill so purchased these little 3 LED waterproof clearance lights. My front parker will be an angel eye in my headlights and I will be putting a rectangle fog light into the space in the front bumper where the indicator and parker used to be
-
Mate.. you are mad!!!! Looking good but where do you plan to put radiator??? Hahaha
Keen to see this finished :-D

Nah. Its not a tyre on the rim. Just sitting the rim on a tyre so it doesnt get scratched on the garage floor. It is getting 50 profile tyres so the honda cluster is speed accurate.
