RR Chasis brackets...

Post by DaveS3 »

Dave.

Well most of the stage 1 body etc will go into the Hybrid, the rest parted out. The rego will be transferred for the moment.

Will be engineered at some stage though

Yep :lol:

Chassis has a little bit of rust in the outriggers (fixable) but this is an awesome excuse to build something else.

Will be a slow build up, will make a thread when some of the welding begins as i have only just finished grinding all the outriggers off and cleaning the rest of the chassis.

All $$$ factor.
Plus the ute is really my daily driver anyway, so it would need to find another car. If i can find another body cheap, that will probably be the way to go anyway.
It will be done on the cheap so to speak (well i hope :oops: )

Dave,

I will be watching this space with interest as CJ and I will be doing something similar after we finish restoring his County. Bits of Stage 1 Series 3 looking for something to bolt too. :D

What's in the keg? Or empty? :D

Have you cut off the rear trailing arm mounts?
If you have and it's in good condition, i'm after a nice straight one.

It is a good idea to cut them off, move them forward and then weld them back on. Longer trailing arms flex better and put less stress on the bush. The A-arm ball joint if more of a limiting factor for flex but every bit helps.

Will only be running 2'' springs, may make new arms with a slight bend in them.
Not too worried about flex as i won't need heaps.
Still working out what to do with the rear as I will be using the sals, so pinion length is a problem. So either cut of coil brackets, mak custom arms and extend a frame to keep a stock shaft or cut down a standard shaft :?

All in time :oops:

Will be good to see another rig like this around
