Decided to extend body by adding 200mm between wheel arches.

[Mattrade]

All cut up, mock fit to check spacing.

Sweet. What's the plan for the bonnet? (probably the least of your concerns at the moment).

Well its all up in the air at the mo still undicided but think i will cut and extend but still un sure about front guards.

[Mattrade]

Got my drive shaft made up at drive line specialist. For a wapping 570bux outch but a really good job

[Mattrade]

Mock fit with chassie extended 230mm.

[Mattrade]

All fits apart from altanator clashes with steering shaft. So thinking of removing ac pump from the left side and replace it with altantor. But happy with waight all behind front axel.

[Mattrade]

Got a after market intercooler to fit just behind front grill, real good fit was stoked

[Mattrade]

Thinking of some bar work to bring it all together.

[Mattrade]

3mm gussets for each side rail to strengthen chassie

[trucked]

this sure is a awesome build you got going on, is going to be one he'll of a weapon when it's going again

[Mattrade]

Thanks ya cant wait

[Mattrade]

Got some 2" and 4" bump stops for the front just need to decide what one i can fit in. should help handle the hard hits with the extra engine waight that i have added

[Mattrade]

Bit of a mish finding a good place to mount, but finally decided to make 6mm plates in front of axel to strike on.

[Mattrade]

Got this off ORE, for the rear. Thanks for a good deal
Planing to put my LSD from the rear up front.

[Mattrade]

Managed to borrow a friends engine crane, mint bit of gear wish i had thought of it. Only has a 2000lbs boat winch but works sweet. Just not standing under it

[Mattrade]

Trying to fit one very long tall motor.

[Mattrade]

Did some research and a guy re powering a rx7 fabricated a rear sump to miss stearing.

In my case it will let me drop it and get my oil pick up at the back to reduce the risk of it running dry up hills. Any tips on this??? Its my first sump mod. Baffels??

Trying to fit one very long tall motor.

at least it's not wide as well.
Definitely take the time to sort some windage baffles. Not doing so makes for a long expensive weekend (don't ask how I know).

[Mattrade]

Front mount rusted out, ignored it first time around but finnally caught up with me.

[tomsoffroad]

Nice

[Mattrade]

Fabricating new body mounts out of some 3mm plate, also extending beyond to hold front of the rock sliders. Bought a new 40 plasma cutter, still learning but a cool machine.

[Mattrade]

Finished

[tomsoffroad]

Watching this project with much interest. Its looking awesome

[Mattrade]

[tow99]

[Mattrade]

Next mish is my sump. Got my engineer to mill down my sump to just the bottom flange to build up from. This is my first bit of ally welding. Way harder than any steel Ive ever welded but got there in the end.
