driver's side mount is mocked up! Perfect clearance with the steering quickener. Tomorrow ill get the metal to mount the quickener and finish the steering! Then i just need to do the trans mount, then i can pull the engine and finish weld.

Finally got the FB tops onto the coilovers! Good news is they clear! I also got the ARP studs onto the five lug hugs. Assembled the whole shebang with calipers and the wheel to see if everything clears. Looks perfect. Huge amounts of clearance!!!

I also removed the engine and finish welded the mount brackets. Added supports for the driver's side. The mount for steering quickener was made and welded too. Finished welding the steering adapters as well.

what type of studs did you use I need some for my car the ones I have are nowhere near long enough with my new wheels

Studs were from summit racing. Part number was ARP-100-7713

MazdaTrix also has longer studs. The Summit ones are probably cheaper though. Great build, I like seeing something different and this is definitely different. Want to hear how it all works and what kind of alignment and suspension settings you get with this setup when you're done.

yeah mazdatrix is smoking something with some of theyr prices the ones I need they want 19 bucks per stud so times 16 I say fuck that.

Car is on the ground. need to adjust the ride height and add some weight to order helper springs.

Some more pics.

Managed to make the pin mounts for the rear hatch. Also, trimmed the fenders for tire clearance since the axle line moved forward. Also, also, mounted the Saab 900 radiator and the intercooler. Used square tube and some flat steel on the bottom, then aluminum on the top. Clutch line is done. Brakes are getting there. I need some odd ball fitting for the input to the Wilwood cylinder.

Going to clean and prep the inside of the car here soon so i can paint the inside after filling holes and just plain old age and wear. Then the fuel lines and brakes lines will be mounted permanently in the cabin and the electrical can begin.

Looks good man, quality stuff.

When are you moving back to CO? LOL

Honestly man, not sure what the hell is going on. I have probably a year left of being in limbo, then there is an issue with my home of record so as far as where I can afford to move...


anywho.

painted the cage green. Seats back in!

Made the fuel pump holder thingy. Need to buy another Walbro however...

Fitted the studs for the pump plate, mounted the fuel filter, and start to size the -6AN lines in for the fuel array. Summit (Russell) brand hoses are living nightmare to assemble and I will only buy Earls (Jegs) next time. Going to mark and measure and pay a place in town to deal with assembling those things.

Also, most of the brakes lines are done. need a Master Cylinder to bias line, and a line to go to the axle that is flexible.

Also I mounted the foot switch for the horn on the co-driver foot rest. A similar switch will go on the other side for wipers/sprayer activation.

Well the car is making progress. Only cell pics at the moment. Better pictures to come later. Fuel lines are mostly ran, wiring is getting there, various engine bits are wrapping up, megasquirt should be finished up soon enough. Going to start painting the car probably on the 15th.

Looking pretty good man. Lots of hard work in there and I'm sure you'll have a good reliable run for rally..
