Just waiting on the drop stub axels from Stub Tech to arrive and then I can work on the mounts and steering arms.
Small steps forward.
Cheers,

Re: TT Sedan

Neil wait a couple of minutes and it will pass. :lol: Purchased the Twin turbo kit back in 2010 when we were dollar for dollar with the US for the sedan project but Ammo's ute got in the way. During the visit from the engineer, we agreed that there is not enough room in the engine bay so I may need ...

Re: TT Sedan

Met with Scot the engineer, on Wednesday afternoon to discuss the sedan build. All the stuff that I need to do is fairly straight forward and he will prepare the paper work to lodge with Transport SA. He quizzed me on the wheel size and offset and the what steering I would be using. Suggest front mo...

Re: Ol' Rusty - FB/EK Sedan

I'm enjoying watching your repairs for your creativity to make patch panels and channels that you can not buy.
It also makes me think about what I need to do and to slow down to do it right.
More thought equals less weld and grinding.
Cheers,
Roger

Thanks for posting Clay.

Re: TT Sedan

This is the area that I'm changing. The inner guard on the outside if that makes any sense.

I have already done the inner side but will need tidy it up in case someone looks under the car. :?
This should allow me to run the 17" rims with 235 tyre up into the guard.

Re: TT Sedan

I dropped the sedan off the frame today as I was over trying to mig weld up in the rear guards. I need a little more space to give the tyres a bees tit more clearance. I must have banged my head 5 or 6 times trying to see where I was welding. off the frame.JPG Now on it side so much easier side on 1...

Re: TT Sedan

I played with which wheels to use, 17" or 15". I do have a set of 16" but not so keen on the design now. I think ride height is spot on and 17" fills the opening perfectly. The 235 tyre is a snug fit. ride height.JPG I will need to do a little on the inner out side guard as I hav...

Hole is for fuel flap ex Telstar or Mazda 323, can't remember. After much sanding this morning I bit the bullet, purchased 1K expoy and now I have a yellow car.

Re: Ammo's Ute

Took Clay's advise and removed the valve from the master cylinder on the Crusty wagon. Bled the front breaks again but the pedal leaks down when you keep pushing on it, so something not right. :problem: I had to keep filling around half the master cylinder each wheel. Asked myself " where the h...
