timj Posted November 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 2 link... Are you using the front leaf mounts for mounts? Yes, I will strip the leaf springs so its only one left, and then reinforce the front and rear mounts. Then I wil fit a "tractionrod" or "panhardrod" as it also is called i belive.... Voila, two link:-) And since I'm using a Volvo rear axel, there is diff covers for sale with the watt link mounts allready in place, so that shouldnt be to hard...

timj Posted November 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Got my carbs today :wootjump: Just need some cleaning and I think I would like to get them spaced out a bit... It will be easier to make an intake manifold when they have the correct distance..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timj Posted November 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Thanks guys. I hope that the end result will be sweeeeeet... But there is some work left i guess.... I'm only looking forward to getting the car painted, as I hate rust repairs.... Worked as a panel beater for 10 years, so I`m kind of satisfied with rust..... Will have a look at your thread Tommy, thanks. ke30r, do you have a project thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timj Posted November 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Hi, The one I'm putting in is called 1030 Dana axel, that's not the best, but its easy to get hold of... The one who is best is the one called 1031 Dana. You can find it in some volvo 240/740/960.... But there is no way to tell other than checking the plate on the diff house.... The width of the axel should be the same.... I've got a couple of months worth of work ahead before its finished......:-((((( I'm on a budget.... I had an insane drifting car that costed me a looooooooot of money, so wifey is a bit strict.... Plus, everything is really expensive here in Norway....:-(( But I aim to have it done before the summer:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timj Posted November 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Well.... Did get something done tonight, welded the wheel arches so they fit better to the flairs... And since I'm a bit of a friend with Murphy... I managed to make a big dent in the left rear fender:-((( so I had to fix that as to:-(( Things are coming along nicely, and as I said, ready for paint in a month or so.... And then I need to get it approved for two more years.... Then I can start with the engine and drivetrain... Phu.... I don't think I have time to work...:-)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickn5k Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Nice project!! Pretty good rust wise for your area of the world. The Zetec is a great little motor and will sound great with the bike carbs! Keep up the good work. Stu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timj Posted November 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Thanks Stu, Yeah, I recon its in pretty good shape considering the roads and weather we have here in Norway.... The car have lived its life in the country side where they don't put salt on the roads:-) So that is a bit of luck.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
