1993 Fox Body

Good job getting it back on its wheels. You have any closer up pictures of the welds where your plates meet the subframe for the suspension?

I do not. I'll have to get under the car.

They aren't pretty, but I tried to put as much heat as I could to get good penetration.

I checked all the welds for cracks, this past weekend, and everything seems to be holding up so far.

That looks like NCM... Fun place to race if it is.

Can't wait to hear more feedback on how you like the 3 link with the panhard bar. Nice work on the homebuilt transformation...

Nice work, dude! Dig the three-link and stock car parts! Methinks one of the next things that will really annoy you on the autocross will be the whack angles that strut front end provides in relation to camber. You can just make your own SLA later . . .

We seem to be operating with a similar cycle: Thrash car, rip apart and drastically change, then repeat.

Thank you! NCM it is! Haven't got the chance to run on the track, but I do love running autocross up there.

Thank you and a SLA front is what I would like to do. Griggs has a bracket that will bolt to the front spindle, to allow an upper ball joint to attach.

Build as you go! That's what I try to stick to.

Looking good man. I got rid of the black fox a year ago or so but I'm getting my other one put together now. I needed some more motivation so it's nice to see some posts from you!

If you do your own SLA this is the "budget" drop spindle I've seen people use on homebrew Fox SLA's that is priced in between a $50 SN95 spindle and the $2500-3000 Griggs and Cortex spindles.

Good deal. Glad you're keeping an eye on them. From what little I can see, I'd say move in closer with the gun to help get the heat into the metal.

Thank you, sir. I'll have do that next time.

Welding is something I can definitely improve in, so I'm always open to critiques.

I have a brand new LS K member with arms if you need one, change of plans.
