Hi All,
Thought I would get started on my build thread after procrastinating for a while.
It's going to be a long haul yet, still a lot of work to be done but can see some minor progress in the past few weeks getting me motivated again. Car had been sitting untouched for about 6 months until a few weeks ago.
The build so far is as follows:
'85 1200 Ute
CA18DET with CA 5 speed
Maddat trans tunnel and fitting kit.
Maddat R31 diff with 4.11 gears (LSD Centre still needs to be installed / built).
Maddat Brake booster / master.
CA18DET S13 brake calipers on 120Y struts. 250mm rotors.
15x4 Convo pros (offset looks OK, might need camber adjusters)
Rears will be measured and fitted once diff is installed.
Plans for build to be a weekend street / strip car eventually. Have most parts ready for build including fuel setup, new radiator, intercooler etc. Just need paint, a few more bucks thrown at it and the most difficult component... time!
Some pics of the progress so far.
Trans tunnel tacked in over the weekend, just have to finish shaping and get it welded up and inspected by the engineer. The next step is paint the engine bay and then the fun begins.
