Little update on the project been busy over xmas with it stripped a load more from the car, theres not much left of it now and its become very light. The engine and box has been removed all the interior and sound deadning, all the luxurys gone interior lighting and other.
Been fabricating the rollcage up from 2" CDS tube, one poxy job got there in the end though after a few small fires and my arms, back and neck burnt from all the welding spatter managed to get some primer on it as its sitting outside untill I get some spare time to carry on. Just need to put the front door cross members on it now and the cage will be finnished.
put extra supports in over the rear axel as the axel mounts are known to break out the floor when driven hard
Removed the sunroof as it was quite heavy lump then fabricated and welded in a sunroof pannel
bought some tastey deep dish wheels the rears are 9.5j so I have some arch fabrication to do
Bought a toyota 1jz engine been reading up on them and they seem to produce good power, been searching the net and found some pics with them already fitted, not the neatest of installs but shows it can be done, ill be going for a single turbo with poss an uprated intake manifold.
Going to start making the lexan windows up this week as a sheet of that has arrived, wont be fitting them untill the car is painted though.
looking out for a gearbox for the 1jz so I can make a start on fitting it all.
