[thegosson]

got hammers and chisels out, once the brother got wind of a bit of distruction about to take place he was well on for giving me a hand. check out the big happy head on him.

and then hours later not so happy but sticking at it.

eventualy we got it down to this.


so all that was left to do wa paint it, so thats what i did.

[thegosson]

right so got the dash out


then assembled the cage to make sure it all went together before it goes into the car


dash ready for marking and cutting to accomodate the cage


couldnt help meself ,had to take a snap of the old girl

[thegosson]

stripped everything from underneath


torturing the subframe to give up those bushes

[thegosson]

the good old sandblasting booth was born!



knuckles blasted then painted

and then the subframe

[thegosson]

time to start the seam welding






then shutz was applied to seal the metal from the atmosphere etc...

[thegosson]

solid steering colume bush fitted


solid subframe bushes pressed into place


and subframe back in place


started putting on the dw adjustable arms

and then the tein super drift suspension


cant put on the lower arms yet cause when i got them off dw there where no collars to suit the s13 subframe included. but there on there way supposidly??? so will fit them asap

[thegosson]

in order to use the s14 5 stud front hubs with the s13 coilovers you need to make the holes in the knuckles where the coilover mounts to smaller (from 14mm to 12mm. so i turned down some stainless slieves on the laid.

and when fitted look like this


then i could continue building the front end


hydraulic handbrake lines pumbed in


now for the DIFF:smash::smokin:

the viscous lsd beside the new KAZZ 2 way LSD

checking the backlash

[thegosson]

ok so the collars arrived for the rear lower arms so got them in place
