Your control arms and rear diff look great Dale.
The front end would look cool modernised with some struts. With that bad boy twin turbo engine your going to need a beefed up setup.

OK, i got some work on the front end, and as i am lowering so much, nothing was going to work, so i drilled out the upper wish bone and decided to make it so it moves....  It will now pivot when glued in place.. also lightened it with some fancy holes..  Also going with an orange gold.   |

Agree with these guys. It's funny. Youre like this is going to work so I'm going to kick it up a notch and make it a working suspension!  I would porbably be like, let's cut this out and this and remove this and add globs of glue here and.....@#$% it! forget it.  Great job Dale. You are a prime example of getting better and better at your skill! |

Thank's guys, the wishbone thing was something i have been wanting to do for a long time, so why not do it on a prestigious build like this one..  Started on some other bits, the interior has to be upgraded, so i found 2 seats for the rear, and played around making them suit.   Then murphy's law says i need to modify the door trims too, 1 is modded, the other is stock. ( due to the chassis channeling, and mini tubbs ).  The wheels needed de-blinging, so a bit of masking, and some grey.   And added my mega stoppers......  And painted the chassis...  Wired the dizzy too.  |

This is really coming along nicely . I agree with everyone you are hitting it out of the park. I think we all need to pick up our games a bit ! Looks like I will be making some changes to my wagon just to keep up !

Thanks for the encouragement men, and Beast, don't do too much mate.........  A bit of time doing fiddly stuff with little results to show for it, but getting closer to a result. The front end is done and together.   And this is the legitimate final stance..... now i'm happy..  |

Than you all very much... Stitch, i might as well show off here, coz nobody else gets to see what i do.. On to the interior, The right seat is standard, the left on has been modded to fit in with the channeling of the chassis. ( found the seats on my spares box ).  And got the door trims done too..  |

Thanks guys, i got the interior done last night.. Found a console in the box of bits, and shortened it to fit.   And ran into a fitment issue, after the suspension was assembled, the manifolds hit on the wishbone, so i had to make some new exhaust manifolds and then figure out where to put the turbo's, as they were touching the radiator.....   Now, to sort out the blumbing for the intercooler.... |

Dale, my man, this is ply mind blowing. That motor is so cool looking. And the interior, freakin awesome man!!!

This box of bits you keep talking of. it sure must be huge!!! The Bits Box Rocks!!!
One question though, is that correct travel for the tire thread? Almost think the tires should be switched?
But then, I think I have seen tread go this direction.... Confused I am... smiley-confused005

Coming along very nicely. Might I suggest sanding the top of the shift lever and repainting? The seam is a bit distracting from a otherwise excellent interior.

I would porbably be like, let's cut this out and this and remove this and add globs of glue here and.....@#$% it! forget it.
