Yep that's what I meant. Driven it yet

think mik was talking about the engine crossmember mounts. that look like the standard mounts have just been shortened
most engineers would definately not pass them, you might find the odd engineer that might think about passing them
basically they look like #OOPS#, butt joined and crappy looking welds and thats not a good way to start out when getting something engineered

so im guessing you moved the engine back when you made the block mounts?

Some updated pics

Maybe a bit of lube and some forplay before a kick

got a lil bit of work done this week. got most of the wiring done. fuel system done, just waiting on some ebay #OOPS# to turn up and gotta head to the wreckers and find a air box and a few nik naks.




lost a fuel rail spacer so made one.


how its looking



gonna buy some fluids tomorrow and maybe kick it in the cunt and see what happens.

Yep would like to get it engineered, the mounts are strong as #OOPS#, used 5mm plate on the block, box is mounted, used a ae86 cross member then used 5mm plate 100x100mm anchor points welded on the floor pan. Tail shaft in, exhaust in just gotta make up another hanger.
Would be cool to have it ready for the all jap day in Nov but no biggie if not.

I like the idea of you utilising the existing x member mounts. You planning on engineering it? Not sure if the welds like that would pass as it seems to be just sitting on to of old cut towers. at least can use a series rubber mounts.
I haven't made a x.member yet. So its good your giving a go

Gearbox in yet?

love the ute mate very nice work on the front struts also keep up the great work go the utes
