Sooo work can take a hike today.

 

got my rear end in place.

FC RX7 discs and calipers mounted.

the calipers came with a set of brackets for a hilux.

they fit perfectly offset wise, but the diff bolt spacing is off my a few mm. That’s ok, I’ll get some cut to suit.

but for now it’s classified as completed. 
these calipers take the cables directly inboard to the nugget. I got the cables with the calipers too.

just need pads all round.

 

also side bonus is that the supplied caliper brackets fit a Hiace diff I have outside.

Bit of a shopping day today.

 

my headlight plugs arrived, but can’t wire them in until after paint. Doh.

 

also received my other elecy bits for “testing”..

stopped by Cardwells today to gather “supplies”.. will update once this process is completed. Should be awesome. 
 

picked up my caliper brackets and dropped off the template for the alternator adjuster . Ready tomorrow. GC. 
 

But I did have a task completion after hours. Fitted my new accelerator cable, looks sweet.

 

then made the pre-paint ready list.. uh oh… better haul ass

Well I better pull finger.

 

just entered the Nats!!

quite fitting really as it was the first place I drove the original RX3UTE to 22 years ago, and the last trip I took in it. 
 

I really need to find a friendly local that has a metal folder/tipping dies

Ute goes away for paint on Sunday.

so why not shit the bed and make changes.

 

cant find a filler neck grommet anywhere. It was bugging me. 
so I decided to weld over the filler hole.

 

will yeet the tank and fit a fuel cell in the rear below the deck. 
 

still waiting on my seat mounts to be made up aswell as the new bumper mount extensions.
