Nice attention to details. The wagon shows individuality.

Thanks mate. Motor and box in after a stuff around trying to use a CA20 bluebird box with CA18 bell housing we decided to dig out the stumpy swap the bell housing and use it. Had problems with clearance yes even with a bluebird tunnel in it which mainly stems from the engine height. It could be a lot lower but the bonnet has plenty of clearance when back on and shut so I'm all good may finish off me other CA X member later on it has been scalloped to allow for lower engine. Bluebird gearbox X member bolts up and will fit with a bit of tweaking or may just make a fresh one. Getting there slowly mainly just want to get it all hooked up and running as well as all brakes setup and electrics so i can then pull it down fix my list of stuff/mods and paint it.

Nearly finished fitting CA Radiator. Just got to bend the top brackets for it and will cut some flat and weld nuts to the other side that they bolt to and then the flat can bolt to the top of the RSP on the under side just for added support. Also fitted maddat bracket for booster and clutch master all in pedals hooked up ready to go. Hoping to have this car done for local car show in October so back to it tomorrow. P.S more pics to come couldnt leave the crossmember as it was pulled out the half finished scalloped one and finished it off motor heaps lower now. HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE

Keep chipping away Andy. Will be nice once it's on road

Thanks brother. Finished me top brackets poxy phone pics but really happy with them. The welds were some of my best yet taking gasless into consideration. Used the good old plates that go under the bolts for 120y crossmember.

looking really good, makes me want a wagon now lol.

I live for poxy phone pics, it's all I have for pics ATM.

Get that wagon rolling, it's good you didn't sell it and when you were I am broke as always. Id love a wagon too after seeing piggys done too

O.k made the plate for underside of RSP with all nuts welded to it and hit with some welding paint. Found a bit of aluminium angle to fit between radiator and lip of RSP. All fitted back up with some stainless Allen key bolts and washers she is as solid as a rock just going to round the corners of the Alloy angle and run a small rubber strip i have a long the edges so no vibration then a thin screw with rubber washer threw each Radiator bracket into it to hold it in place. Thinking i will polish the alloy angle right up once its all fitted and going back together. really happy phone pics not that clear but you get the idea. P.S you can kind of see the Scalloped X member in last pic.

Looks good and the rubber or foam will seal gaps and stop rattles.

Make sure you shroud sides of rad too. Forces air through rad and. intercooler.I noticed better temp stability in,mine through that alone

Got a start on one of the coilovers all welded on ready to sort out top hat and camber plate fitting. Should get away with standard inserts unless someone has a tip for shorter ones for unshortened R31 Struts.
