Finally after all the dusty fiberglass work was done it was time to finally start the assembly. I blasted the frame again and had it powdercoated along with all the suspension stuff. I've done always black frames in my builds, but this time I wanted to do something different.
This is always the fun part, when you have a nice clean frame and tons of new parts that need to go on it. These cars are so simple to put together that you can get a lot done in a day.
Front end stuff going in. JMRP tubular A-arms, Home made rack n pinion, custom ordered sway bars and QA1 coil overs, I ended up using only the bare shells of the shock as everything inside was custom made to work better in this car. The guy who does all my shocks is responsible for a lot WRC cars shocks, so if they can jump 100ft in those cars and come down and keep pounding on through the stages, the shocks really need to work well. I plan to keep this car on the ground but still it has made a huge difference in my previous builds, just to tune the shocks.
T56 required the cross member to be modified.
Custom made gas tank, it was also relocated from the rear of the car to the center to get even better balance. Capacity is also almost doubled compared to stock tank.
More about the assembly later...
