I wish I had the skills to machine parts like that and fabricate more on my build.  I'm doing good to just to get mine done!  :laugh:  I am persistent, but slow and steady like the turtle.  I hope it turns out faster than the turtle!
Turtle won the race.   ;D

Nearly got the bottom front a-arms made. Ended up going with the pipe version I showed you.

Got the engine out of the frame, cut the airbox out. Been looking at it and uming and ahhing about wether to used it. Don't like the way the filter sits in it. Looks OK for street, but not so good for offroad.  I've been looking as some intakes made by MC Performance Fab and wondering weather I make something similar (using the original trumpets). Bit scared I will stuff the tune and it will run super lean or something.

Cheers mate,

That is my own reversing case, hope it works because I went to a fair amount of effort to make the engine/gearbox carrier. Hate to cut it all out.

I was bending the edge style stubs (a popular car make called Holden). 2" hollow spindle were a bit big, so I made as set of 40mm spindles. Never bent them so I using them on my new car as well.

I hope the homemade midboards work - 5 wide is not common in aus. Easy to get them but they are exy. I wanted to use a popular cheap 6 stud pattern. To do this I used 110x150x20 ball bearings to make everything fit. Tapered rollers near this size a rare as rocking horse shit and very expensive.
