Today was a big day of getting a lot done with the fabrication, in actuality the fabrication part is just about complete, just need to start tear down, complete all the welding, sand blast the chassis and other bare mild steel parts that have started to rust.
I got the exhaust mock up complete, only thing that I need to finish on the exhaust would be to weld the final bends and tips on, but I'll wait till I have the bumper installed so that I can get it lined up correctly.....and truthfully it's one of the last things that will be done. Also re-made the charge piping which was great cause I removed a 90 degree bend and cut out 16" of piping. I've also removed those crappy racing seats so I can use stock Fiero seats that I picked up in descent condition. The front suspension fabrication is completed with some plain heim joints for the swaybar endlinks, the actual unit that I use on it during final assembly will be a set of sealed greased units. Lastly I finished off the front end fabrication by installing a battery mount, HVAC blanking plate, meth tank and re-mounted the rad and rad fans.
I'm really pleased with how its coming, a couple things that I didn't like I've removed or rebuilt, everything seems to fit well and the car doesn't seem to have any issues with suspension movement, axles, engine and trans.
There are a couple things that I am going to look at changing with the brake setup, but its mostly with the calipers and that can be looked at when the suspension is off the car.
On to some pictures.
