bit of stuff happening,
recieved some good stuff from bendix who have decided to jump on board as a sponsor.

waiting for my air saw to arrive from kc tools and i can do some stuff that i cant with the angle grinder, pick up some wire for the mig in the next couple of days, get my new stuff for my revised engine mounts from america in the next couple of days, made some new stuff for adjustable control arms, sorted front guards, tried my hand and a few repairs for rust near where the boot rubber mounts, cut everything out for the gear box mount which I will finish when i get my engine mounts finished, which i will do when i get my mig wire.

otherwise on track, just a bit short of cash!! but ill make it work.

Wow that's awesome news man. Good to see you've picked up Bendix as a sponsor! I can't wait to see this car finished.

i wonder what the old lady u bought this thing of would think of it now ay lol

[driftke70]

haha, i had sent pictures from time to time.

its taking a back step at the moment, as i have too many things to pay for at the moment, but by that i mean i wont be blowing everything i earn on it, instead pottering away at the things i have been putting off and get it all shmick, then paint.

colour?

[driftke70]

in time, ive got it chosen and everything, only thing that will be a variable is the interior, but for now its hush hush, as is everything else,

had to pay fricken 106 bucks to get my rat desexed today!

[45KIDS]

haha desexed rat!

this thing looks sooo good dumped!

[seek]

was he a frisky fella? did he run that birdcage like a whorehouse?

[driftke70]

nar he was just living with his sister, and i didnt want to make a mini rat version of an imbred society. He was too good of a rat to get rid of.

car will be a fair bit lower than what it was.

also might have scored a new job today, that works really well with uni and rakes in some cash !! so this thing will get finished sooner!!!!!!

[driftke70]

well been flat out lately with uni and trying to start a new business and crap, but im back on my feet and swinging, and this weekend i decided to swing in the direction of the rolla, managed to pump out my engine mounts, my gear box mounts, finish some more of my roll cage and solved many miscellaneous problems.

but ill let the pics do the talking, the engine mounts are using a hush hush 4wd diff link bush, that should more than take the engines turbulent actions.
also found by not turning the turbo around, and having the inlet face the cab and the exhaust forward, I have been able to move my engine back even further, and down low as all fuck, and it is clearing the steering, brakes etc, i have not had to space my cross member at all, so much further back then my 4age was and maint weight of it is low as, the bulge i am going to be putting in my bonnet now is going to be like 15mm high, 35mm wide and 40mm long, which is sfa, thats taking into account im still running standard plenum and top mount, which = full boost before 3500.
