GT_Escortina

worked on the detachable steering today its to late in the day to get countersunk hex bolts for the wheel ,still have to heat up socket to get the last 8mm

Keep you guys informed on the build from here So here what ive built so far The frame is from a old wire weave bed base i got from the dump the stub axle's are 30/40's? GM items (have chaged the engine today) Im not sure what the steering box is from mockup with some of the part's i plan to use i never really like the look of that 5.5hp honda knock off engine.This suzuki 125cc 2 smoke should power this along very nicely

This guys a top bloke with all kinds of goodies, did he show you his lotus powered mini ?

yeah off a old sewing machine it don't look right ill end up making one

Have lathe must build steam engine

Like to share this sweet lamp I made with the use of an old enamel light shade Over looking my new toy

not 100% sold on these centres thought's or suggestion of other 15" centres (picture would help a lot) YEAH NAH?

Fuck all of a update still working on sump as i cock the first one up.But ive found the wheels (the size anyway) 15x8 steels im 90% sure they will fit just by knocking the lip of the guard out a bit.There is abit more room for the rear rim to go in

busy again tonite remove the shit im not needing and stuff that needs modifying .bit more room now with the flipped cross member there is heaps of room for front bowl sump

hell thats good spotting haha.. ill be cut these off and lifting the bracket higher to sit it a lot lower with more adjustment on the coillovers to keep springs captive (if that makes senses??

Engine has arrived couldnt what so ive tried putting it in. sump is need a lot of mod's to get the engine sitting lower this could be a problem oil filter and steering box

jacked the old girl up to find the springs on all four aren't even close to being captive as not likening the welds on the strut will need rewelding at a guess these like modified s14's doesn't seem to be much on the net about this mod (not that I looked that hard)

^^yeah that has crossed my mind with more options for wider and lower profile tire's for 14 and 15's

thanks man ill post a add see what happens

^^ hell that sits nice ^^ Be hard finding wheels like that now without paying big $$$$ tho never no my luck

Engine sorted today so im going V6 (vg30) plan now is to dump the efi shit and use a 500 holly or similar .still in need of a gearbox .Havnt started the rust work yet I hope to find time this weekend Also if anyone see vg30 inlet manifold like this plz pm found mostly on pre 89 nissan terrano
