Yes, and I keep watching videos to pump myself up, even started it up in the garage the other day, and revved it up a little bit!
Speaking of waiting, I wanted to post this yesterday but, as I spent so much time and energy yesterday, I couldn't possibly convince myself to update the .org!
Here's a couple pictures of how the 6 point cage install is going! Pretty happy with the way things are looking so far, but having some difficulties with it as well. May have to borrow a friends welder to finish up some of the joints!
Here's everything that happened on saturday, spent about 10 hours w/o many breaks.
^^^ Drilled holes in the floor for the main hoop to drop through once tacked the rear tubes to the main hoop.
^^^ Cutting the down tubes equally, using a piece to ensure they are both equal angles to the notches.
^^^ Notches butted to main hoop
^^^ Finished mocking up, measured a million times and used some clamps to hold everything in place, then I made the tacks on the upper tubes.
^^^ Rear tubes
^^^ Floor plates being melted into the floor!
^^^ Final Product for the night
Now to decide how to mate the door bars to the "A" pillar, I'm also thinking of doing a "Swing-Out" kit for the door bars seeing this car will be used as a daily driver (weather permitting!)
Now to scrounge up the moneys for the camber/toe plates and bushings for the rear subframe/trailing arms.
Laundry list of parts:
*** ZF Trans
*** Race Clutch *possibly the clutchnet red
*** Custom Driveshaft *will need transmission to diff measurements and output/input points
*** Driveshaft loop
*** Camber/Toe Plates
*** Trailing arm bushings
*** Power steering pump, lines and reservoir!!!
THE OFFICIAL Wishlist (not needed to get rolling, but need to be replaced soon)
*** TIRES TIRES TIRES
*** FRONT 6 cylinder H&R race springs - I'm bottoming out the 4 cyl H&R springs hard over bumps with the added 6cyl weight
*** Rear adjustable springs *** any recommendations are excepted!!
Happy internetting, I must sleeeep!
