Don't mean to be picky ,but are you having neg camber rear subframe brackets as your wheels
look a bit square to the body ??

[Dog]

Nope, not negative...

Fully adjustable Its something I've going to do this week, now its down at home, the things I'm going to do are;

Roll cage - Finish bolting it in
Finalise seating postion
Make my internal shifter kit
Fit my spare doors - see how they line up etc
Fit my rear brakets

So thats 2 days work lol
Got a few little welding jobs to do, that I missed beforehand, but nothing major...

[andywaller]

wow mate looks like its coming on fast.

the exact oposit to mine! lol

when you say you are building your own internal shifter, have you looked into these at all because from what i have read they are a right bugger to get right.

there was one on ebay going cheap the other day!

[Dog]

Well when I do my internal shift I'll post up how I do it... to be honest on paper, it looks easy, I'm going to use the steady, so I don't have to solid mount the engine, more work, more hassle, but it'll be easier and cheaper...

I'll PM you with the plans behind mine...

[andywaller]

cool.

i was going to get the kad one but i will see how yours goes.

i know your going to need a massive amount of engine stabilisers to stop it jumping out of gear all the time!
