No motivation today so going to throw up a few pics instead...

Engine mounts done, waiting on Mike Deane to modify my 350z bellhousing, onto the slow and tedious stage of removing all the seam sealer and begin seam welding...

Was trying to work out where I would and wouldn't seam weld and in the end just decided - If there was a seam there it got welded. Soon had the entire top of the chassis done....









Getting to grips with it now...this is my first time seam welding.


My new worst enemy....seam sealer

[Brendanfd3s]

Got sick of wire wheeling seams so went off on a tangent, stuck in clutch pedal, fired in a seat and decided to fit my favorite leaver...
so tight on space with the Corbeau Sprint seats I picked up (cant believe how clean they are considering their about 6 years old)



didnt want to compromise on where I wanted it tho...gotta make it fit...





Made up this spit to bolt on for easy removal, serious brown pants moment rotating this for the first time, thought it was gone at one stage turned out I had just forgotten a few spanners inside before turning her over

few days of fun cleaning down now ahead of me


Jacking point made up too between rear chassis legs

Excellent work going on here man! I like what you did with fitting the hydro, no backing down!

I don't know why it is, but whenever I see a shell spit I just think "Shit's gettin serious!"
