I have a small update with the IRS. I now have the sub-frame mounted and it worked out quite well, i made up an new rear rail to mount the rear sub-frame on and made up some brakets at the front.
I have also started on the coil-over mounts, that use part of a adjustable camber top for the top, and a custom machined billet adaptor at the bottom. Im using s13 front coilovers on my rear.
I have also made the new top arms, that now allow them to clear the Chassis rails.

All is going to plan, just having trouble finding the time to work on it.

I'll try to add some more pics tommorrow night.

I'm pretty keen to see how you do the suspension and work through the other issues.
Sounds like you are progressing quite quickly though, can't wait to see some pics.

Some current photos.

The top photo shows the new curved top arms, and the adaptor bracket thet mounts the coil-over the the original s14 shock mount. I have made it with a pillow ball in it to allow for the angle deflecton with suspention travel.
The s14 rear top arm normally is in front of the strut, but i have gone around the rear to give more clearance.

The second photo shows the ally coil-over adapter.

Third photo is the new arms i have made, they will have rod ends in the ends when they finally arrive.

The last shot is the upper mount, i have used part of our adjustable camber tops and recessed them into the tray. They are only tacked in at the moment, and i still have to make the support bracing to strengthen the mounting pionts.

The ride hight will be nice and low, i have a couple of sets of new wheels (5 stud) 15 inch for my track tyres 195/50/15 and 16 inch for road tyres 205/40/16.
It works out that the outside diameter is the same, so there will be no clearance issues.
