That garage is far too small to store all the bits you are going to start collecting Ryan. Better get on to the boss and get a double garage to play in.

Ryan · Post by **Ryan** » Mon Apr 30, 2007 5:37 pm

jst signed up to a new place today heath with a long wide garage long enough to house zuk,nissan and all my bits and peices!!! yahoo!!!!

Heres some pics of red_zuki's hooks etc ryan :wink:

On this photo you can see there is 1 empty hole, this is where you put your rear hook. Jamie has built a rear bar and has a hook on a removable thingy :oops:

but he previously had his hook mounted there on a peice of "L" shaped steel for extra strength. So make a "L" shaped plate and use all three of those holes and then sandwhich your plate in between your chassis and hook. :wink:

Also the 3rd bolt will stop any sideways movement of the hook

Theres a few ideas for you. :lol:

This is starting to look like a fun little machine... when do you put a 10" lift kit and 60-series cruiser axles and lexus v8 in it? :lol:

Damn these little things look easy to mod tho... despite the fact I can't fit in them, I'm wondering what I could do with one myself

Keep up the chopping, its looking good...
