The countdown is now on, I'm trying to get the car tack welded together and all the major fabrication done for the end of the year. Come Xmas and New years I'm going to tear down the car and send the chassis to blasting or acid dip (haven't figured out which one yet).
This past week I got more front end tubing done, figured out where I'm going to put the battery tray, also went back to the exhaust system and tore apart the turbo setup. I didn't like the location and fit of the turbo downpipe and mufflers, everything was really close to the engine, driveshaft, water pipe and motor mount, I took a second look at the system to come up with a better design. I think the final design is going to change the rotation of the turbo and will be going with a camero style muffler and factory location for the exhaust pipes. But changing the turbo setup caused a problem with the location of the methanol tank, so I'm going to re-locate it to front of the car. Lastly I drilled the and tapped the endlink mounting locations on the swaybar arms, I'll get the links installed tomorrow.
Still to do, need to mount the rad, rad fans, fabricate the battery tray, meth tank tray and HVAC blocking plate..........then the fun time of dismantling everything I've built and finish welding of everything.
