Hello. New here,so here goos.
Back in 2007 started to put the parts and chassie together. I have 3 chassis to work from,2 from Texas and one from Ca. The Texas car seems to be better/less rust but it was hit in the driver front and repaired. Will look into that when I get is up on Rotisserie. Will start building the Rotisserie next. She will be powered by a JDM Sti using a adapter to the 914 transaxle. Didn't want to go to the Subaru,to much work. When I get it up on the Rotisserie is this a good time to have blasted clean/paint free? Here are some photos . Any input is welcome!

Thanks CptTripps !
Been working and thinking about coil over's for the car. So I started playing with some old stuff for a project I never started. I will try to reuse the front BOGE tubes/spindles but with KYB's in it ? I can always go Bilsten later. Same with the rear but will need to do some more thinking about that. Here is my first look at making a coil over. For you at home I have a lath to help with making things fit.Will need to turn the cartridge nut. To big and to close to the spring. Spring is a 10" x 2 1/2". Thinking the front will be 175# and the rear at 200# +- ? Plan is to weld a perch on the front tube and build a spacer for the rear ? Will try to keep its mounts all stock. Have also been thinking about the 4 to 5 problem. Most of the GT/lookalikes seam to use spacers to fill out the wheel wells. So think I'm going to use a front adaptor to go 4 to 5/130 ? Still working on what to do to the rear.
