looking promising,, class work!!!
fairplay sir!:)
Man your gifted, i mean that i'm welding and steel working for a living and you have some serious skill, fair play to you and great project, p.s we have the same model sledge hammer (home made:p)
Right it's been a while since the last update, havnt got much done with the thing dou to other cars and jobs getting in the way.
but i have got a little bit done.
first of all i got my flywheel back, i have been insured that it will be strong enough, with the amount of holes in the thing im a bit worried about it, but we will wait and see!

i also got i few arms and bits for the front suspension, like everything sr in this car i have chopped and modded them!

bottom arms only have a slight bit put into them but its a wedge which makes tings slightly easier for me!
i changed the top suspension points also to make sure nothing is near to binding, the camber is now a little much but it is very adjustable so will tweek it when its rolling properly.

they are two pots that came off the rear of merc, since anything would be better than the standard rear s14 brakes i said il try and make them fit.

they wont be too much work to get fitting!
recently i have been making lots of banded steel wheels for people so i said id make a set for the merc.
they are 17x9.5.

i could only find two wheels so that will do!
next update hopefully i will have a gearbox on the engine and the engine mounted.:cool:
jesus this is some build fair play 2 ya
Really cracking build and savage skills. Looking forward to more.
You will never be able to get a tyre on to them rims. i made the same mistake before when.i made a set the rib in the middle for the bead to sink into will need to be alot closer to either the front or rear i hop you see this before you weld them.up fully
Ya I know what you mean but Iv made I think 8 sets now and iv done them all the same way and never had a problem with getting tyres on them!Quote:
