frknstn Posted October 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 yeah was thinking that. seat is going to be the last thing i do so i can come up with the best and strongest way for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frknstn Posted October 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 was thinking doing the seat this way. http://clubroadster.net/vb_forum/86-diy-how-writeups/59318-fitting-elephant-suitcase-diy-mounting-race-seats-floor.html but would also be welding in flat bar to the bottom of the floor for extra strength in the floor the right hand side of the seat will still need to be raised up an inch to level it out on the floor but I'm thinking this may be a good solution for this problem I'm having. for the rear top side bolts i will make up the uneven floor where in dips down into the rear seat footwell with a mount for either side. will get pics and plans tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frknstn Posted October 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 (edited) picked up some xt130 struts with brakes on em for $45 each pulled from the wreckers today. pretty damn happy with that also put in my extended lca's which through out my alignment bad due to the tierods not being long enough. they will be getting extended once i get some decent tubing. scored a nice bit of stainless C channel which has solved my seating problem cleaned the engine up a bit with the wire brush and sanding block. and fitted my wheels up to the rear so i could measure what size flares to order. i want to run a little stretch as possible the fronts require some to help with strut clearence but will be running the bare minimum.

frknstn Posted November 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 put the engine in over the last week the guy i bough it off made the mounts a bit crooked so had to fix that. which resulted in it sitting up a little higher then i wanted but atleast its straight there is probably less then 1cm between the top of the firewall and the throttle body only downside is the box was sitting against the tunnel so i had to cut out one side of it and bashed the other out will be making a removalbe cover for it when i get ahold of some sheeting. rear is pretty much finished suspension wise got the sierra shocks in and it holds the choppies in at a perfect height will order some decent springs eventually but these will do for now have some xt130 struts sitting in the boot waiting till i order weld ons and then the front is sorted. just need a radiator clutch and driveshaft and its ready to play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frknstn Posted December 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 started on shaping the removable trans tunnel today. got to get one more peice for the left side and then weld it all up and get some bonnet pins to hold it in place. also may have a new engine coming for this. gotta wait till sunday to find out if it alright but. anyone guess what it is.

orangeLJ Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 You can actually flip the inlet manifold over and run the inlet pipe out the front on theses :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.L.Z.BUB Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Are the LED's two stage, normal and brighter for braking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
