some mates came over on the weekend and got cracking on welding the rear chassis up, most of it is welded now and it also has an adjustable panhard

need to redo the top 4 link mounts as the arms are on the wrong angle so pinion angle is all screwed up through suspention travel

but it now rolls again

Would fit mate with a bit of cuttin and shuttin we could recess the front radiator support panel and the fire wall There not a massive engine remove the fan etc and run twin thermos on the outside Where theres a will theres a way mate. Saw an RB30 in a KE30 corolla which i have one of those to similar size engine bay and it fitted quite snug. Anyway better not HiJack PIGDOG's Thread. Nice Work PIGDOG Whats Next mate ?

rb30 would fit easy, it would just double nicely as an arm rest inside the car

next, redo top link mounts on the diff
make spring mounts and shock mounts
cut down tailshaft and make mount for centre bearing
mount fuel tank back in
make battery tray infront of passengers side wheel
pay to shorten axle for the diff

start the ute up, go rip skids and get video footage

Sounds like your going to have some fun there like to see the Skid Vid. RB30 could double as an armrest or a nice coffee cup Warmer/Holder mounted off the top bell housing bolts.

you mean springs? wooden blocks make it easier to roll than the scissor jacks did
