timj Posted November 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Well, got my gearbox today and ordered some cbr900rr carbs:-)) So the engine and drivetrain is getting along:-) Will continue with the body work this weekend and hopefully I can start with the right side on Monday! Got new fenders on both side and a new front bumper, so that's all good now. When the right hand sill is ready its almost paint time, just some small dents to fix and its all good for primer:-) Will upload pictures some time this weekend... Â Have a good one y'all:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timj Posted November 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 I found out that the flares in the front don't fit so well... Their to wide in the bottom and don't look good when I try to force them in place.. They wont fit in the rear either so need some new ones.... Does anyone know what kind of flares that will be a better fit? The ones i have now is for 280z..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timj Posted November 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 You guys are a hard crowd to please....... Might as well stop updating this thread.... No feedback at all....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skellington Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Cool car. It looks a lot like mine. I am interested in seeing that engine run with the bike carbs. Are you swapping to a bigger front strut then modifying to coilovers? I am planning to do something like this to my car as well. I heard that Mazda Miata struts will fit in our stock tubes if we cut and shorten. GL with the project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wattsy003 Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Hey buddy, good to see something different on here (engine choice), keep up the good work!  With your bumpers, here in Austraila you can have them sent away to be repaired and rechromed or you could possible repair them yourself and paint them?? Obviously depending how damaged etc  People on here are hard to hard to please, generally the reason I don't bother anymore... Sadly unless you have a k series engine or 4age and think you know all there is they won't really pay much attention...  All the best with the build I'll be sure to keep a eye on it.

timj Posted November 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Hi, Â I bought ae86 front struts, and will turn them into coilovers, and use the original front struts in the rear, so I get coilovers there to. Â I really look forward to when the engine is ready to fire...:-)) Â The front bumper is really bad:-( so don't know what to do with it yet... Probably try to fix it some how... Thanks for the reply guys:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skellington Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 (edited) Interesting idea for the suspension. Coilovers on the back? are you are going link? There has to be some way of straightening those bumpers. Other than the bends they look good. If you wanted to go custom you can always body it like some of the vintage custom trucks around here: This truck has the same lines down the side and over the fenders as ours. Just an idea. It is something I am considering for mine. Edited November 18, 2012 by Skellington Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timj Posted November 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 That did look good:-) Maybe ill try and do some thing like that:-) I'm goin two link and watlink in the rear... Should work just fine i guess... Â This is what i have done so far... Â Â Â Â Â Â Getting my carbs today, so now its soon paint, and then I can start working out the engine swap.... Hopefully it will be done due june.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
