Sams Fronte

[Krupkee]

im sure this car is familiar to people here, thought I would chuck up a post about my progress

bought last month, interior had a thorough cleaning done, in the process of changing over the suspension to the 4x110 stud hubs and disc brake fronts. has been on hold while i try to fix other cars

I have the watercooled engine which ill chuck in once i make up a new headgasket and see if it runs. and try to rebuild the aircooled engine i got with it

plans are to fix the few bits of rust on it, get a wof and use it as a daily

the fleet of wallowed cars

2 stroke watercooled goodness

got some better pics with new camera:

been working slowly on the suspension changing it to 4x110 and disc fronts, fronts of these are ridiculously hard to get the spring in

time for pics from holidays

headgasket (hand for scale purposes):

stripped paint off the wheels:

tested said wheels:

not happy with the front suspension with spring in, way to high and tight with spring in, did some measuring and can take a couple of coils out, will do that when i get my hands on some more stock springs, just in case lol

pic of the rh suspension is with spring in, lh is with no spring. rh side spring seems to be pusshing down wayyy to much

seems like with susp compressed a bit of camber i might get away with no flares

stock vs new:

speedo definitely will run slower lol gona be getting 155/65/13, if they fit

got the front arms of the fronte rebuilt (dual wishbone), cost a bit more than i wanted but meh shit happens

rear brakes are a bit screwed, dragging on the hub, will need to sort out, then get crossmember rewelded, put engine in, route cooling and see if it starts lol

oh yer an fix a few rusting bits
