very nice! good work Brett. keep it up looking forward to it being finished! :D

Car back on the ground and rolling, moved it to my new house so will start the finishing touches in the next few weeks

 

 

both cars sitting in there new home.

 

updates???? been too long!!

No updates unfortunately. Waiting to get the money together to 4 link and coilover the diff and get an exhaust made.

ok so update time. after a couple months of getting things together to 4 link the van, I made an epic discovery that meant I could mount the particular g series diff that I have into the van with out having to fabricate anything.

 

So this is how I mounted the diff, I discovered that a 1966 hr series holden diff plates are about the right size to fit the hilux u bolts through and also fit the standard shock absorber.

the diff I have is from a yn85 hilux and is 1440mm wide, I have no idea if other diffs fit like this as ive never seen one. also other make and model cars may have plates that fit like the hr ones do.

 

 

I had to drill the holes out a bit bigger to suit the larger hilux u bolt.

 

then I fitted them on to see how that looked

 

as u can see, the diff plates fold up the side of the leafs making the ubolts to long, I made some spacers to fill the gap, but u could source shorter ubolts from somewhere or keep cutting the thread further up the u bolt if u had a die set.

 

now there is a mount to fit the shock just like factory, repeat for both sides and ur g series diff will be mounted with out having to fabricate anything.

This doesn't exits anymore. Took the motor setup out and used it in another shell.

Ah, all that work... Still in a KE70?? Can you transfer stuff across?

Yeah it's in a sedan now. 4 weekends it's taken me and it's almost ready to drive. Just needs tailshaft, exhaust and throttle cable.

For anyone who might of been wondering what happened.

 

I transferred everything into a ke70 sedan.

 

 

And now it does this.
