was hoping to have the engine in by now.... but been waiting for my gearbox for 3 weeks now. sent it to replace input shaft bearings.

Just a little update, changed valve cover seals, intake gasket and finished putting the engine together.

sounds like a plan! from my research, it states that the car should be on all four wheels to allow the natural flex of the car. i can place jack stands under the rear axle but, im a bit skeptical of doing the same under the front control arms. doesn't sound too safe. if i do decide to do that i will...

another thing i was thinking of, do you think its a good idea to "box" over a new frame rail over the existing one? that might save me the work of cutting out the old one and so on....

just a thought.

cookiemonstar

great info sanctifier thanks, but i was aware of the fumes and stuff not being safe.

but i didnt know u cant grind it either? i thought i could just grind off the areas i was gonna weld??

cookiemonstar

awesome!! thanks for the info!

thanks a lot Sanctifier... i do appreciate the advice im getting..

i just love passing in front this shop!! it does be smiles ear to ear!

cookiemonstar

finally getting to put on my foreign used doors i have been hording for like 6-7 years now lol

only thing is the frame rails are smashed up pretty bad, considering cutting them out and replacing.

work in progress.

decided to rebiuld the car by myself from ground up. THE PROPER WAY!
bought myself some equipment.

Firstly, you need to know what rotors and calipers you are going to use. Handbrake cables would be a plus if you can get them with the calipers. Red Dawg Racing can machine and redrill the axles to your desired bolt pattern and we can make the bracket to mount the calipers. Would the Primera rotors...
