Got some work done this weekend. Finally picked up my diff. Mocked it all up and sat it on the ground to see how it looks. Didn't bother with the panhard bar or swaybar yet. It's all coming back out anyway.





Picked up my seats. Recaro Sportster CS

Motor is being packed up now with everything.
Payed for it to be run in on the stand @ AES. Not my intake/valve covers/etc.
Big thanks to Mike for everything.

Bam. In the shed. Now the fun begins.

That's one of the back wheels on the front. 275 on a 9.5". Touches the guard. Dunno the backspace but at full lock i only have around 1cm between tyre and swaybar. So iunno.




205 on an 7" vs 275 on a 9.5" lol.


Cut out some more tunnel so it's neater. Will start on this tomorrow.


Rough seat position. Far enough back for dad, can go far enough forward for the missus too.

Did some cutting in the trunk too for the fuel cell.
Was going to weld some 50x50x3 alloy angle to the cell so it can just drop in and run a brace around the outside of my cut. But i'd rather have the cell sit in a cage of sorts... I'd feel safer about going over rough roads and ****.

Aaannndddd that's about where i'm at. Thanks for listening/reading if you've made it this far.

Tomorrow we will begin the transmission tunnel. I was going to have a fab shop build most of it, but where's the fun in that? A good mate of mine is a machine with a MIG and TIG and he's happy to put his name to the work and i want to learn along the way.

Thanks tubbed69.

Started on the transmission tunnel today. Good mate of mine done most of the work to be honest. Now it's ready to wrap in sheet, tack on the inside and weld into the floor.

I love the project and all you've done so far! This is my favorite year Nova body style. Keep up the good work and keep us posted.

So i accidentally pulled out the headliner.







Also scraped some more crap off the floor, and got it on the rotisserie.
