Is that front bar bolted onto the intercooler??

[haydomiata]

Looks like it's bolted to the chassis legs as normal and the intercooler is mounted to the bumper bar

Ah I actually see the brace back now

sorry for the late reply dude!
Its on the chassis leg and its going underneath the intercooler aswell (i think as i havent been to see it yet) but the intercooler was on the standard bumper bar with 2 little brackets and thats basically what john has done again to hold the intercooler. Tidy job really!
Ill have more pics of the work when it comes back anyway.

Right, got the car back safe and sound. Really happy with the work done by the lads at grip fab hats off to them. They had strength and weight in mind when building it and it shows its a really strong structure on the back with low amounts of bars etc.
I stripped the car of its rear panels now im going to prep for painting and such and do my own little touches but overall im really happy with it. Now to let the pics do the talking











Now to just prep all the areas and paint it.
Also thinking of removing the rear subframe and either building that one up or build another one. Ive traction and toe rods there i just need camber and to buy all the bushes. Full steam ahead from hear on!

Been toying with the idea of cutting the back of my yoke and getting a fuel cell but cant decide if its a good idea? Have you driven it with this set up yet dec? Starting to come together nicely for ya

No i havent yet jeff but from the conclusion to myself is this. Its very cost effective. Thats the main thing it helps with. Convenience is another thing in the case of another shunt its either going to be a few things like
Overfender
A bar or 2
Maybe bend back the light surround if needed
A light/ lights
Bumper
Boot
And even that would be in a worse case scenario!

So rather than having to pull out stretched and bent metal why not make it a hell of a lot easier for yourself. ive yet to test and see if the car really light on the back and what traction is like, then again i haven't really ever had good traction with the pikey alignment i have
I see alot of people doing it lately and if you can get overs that wrap completely around the arch, why not go and chop the hole back end off to fuck and make your own setup. It seems a no brainer to me anyway and im raging i didn't do it in the first place

[decobyrne106]

Oh and as regards the rear lights, don't mind the scruffy ones, ive a clean set to go on
