Engine mounts and trans crossmember done. Now to take the engine and box back out and continue with the rust repairs
-
Yeah, a bit taller than I originally thought. it's sitting as low as possible now and still not much clearance under the bonnet.
-
Decided to cut the firewall a bit more and mount the BEAMS a little further back. Hopefully get the engine mounts and trans crossmember done tomorrow
-
Windows are polycarb/lexan. I was thinking about cutting the firewall and mounting it further back but I reckon it should be fine how it is.
-
Engine mounts had already been cut up from previous owner so i decided to cut them all the way down and start from scratch, mounting as low as possible. Some minor trans tunnel modification to fit the 6 speed in. Roll cage will well and truly make up for the strength lost in cutting the tunnel.
-
I'll look into doing something like that while the rest of the car is away getting the cage built. I want to have opening windows
-
Doors are 1155mm along the center line
-
Think they are a little bit shorter than panel van doors. Will get proper measurement in the morning.
-
Once motor and gearbox mounts are done I'm going to finish off a few rust repairs, then she will be going away to get a full proper cage built with intrusion bars
-
Not a panel van door. Probably would have been a lot easier tho
-
Yeah, would hate to need to replace one of the doors . I'll pull one of the doors cards off and have a look inside. They are quite heavy so I'll see what I can do to lighten them a bit.
-
The BEAMS and the ke70 finally met each other today
-
Do you know where I could find the bottom half of the extractors? If so, rough price?
-
Would love to register it, but just going to keep it as a track car. Original plans were to put a 4age in it and club register it so it would be for road and track, but changed my mind. I hope it goes like a rocket when I'm finished.
-
As long as the doors stay closed, nobody will know.
