(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/calvin.gif) A bit of progress on the turbo project...
The rear suspension bits have been finished and installed. All I need now is a pair of 930 stub axles (six 10mm bolts). Anyone have any they'd like to part with? The rear arms have been reinforced with a 1" tube running diagonally through the arm from the bearing carrier to the pivot tube. See the pics, it takes too long to describe... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Also made the typical toe adjustment struts that run from the mouting bracket to the tub. The front fenders have been (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sawzall-smiley.gif) to make way for the new nose. Even more weight out of the tub! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/monkeydance.gif) The one piece nose is the same as used on the Baker IMSA GTU car in the early eighties and it is LIGHT! We have access to the mold and will make anew one, but the original will do for now. Enough jawin' already. Here are some pics... The front minus fenders. There is still a bit of more metal to remove... The jack is holding the wheel at the approximate ride height. Attached image(s)
