I'm sorry Paul but I think those panels will be too rough for what I'm ideally looking for
Seeing as this is starting from scratch I'd like the panels as straight as poss cos they'll be so kind of template
And the fact that they are cut is not ideal either
So for the time being thank you, but...
Not sure tim will need to measure up
I mean there is currently enough clearance from what I can see
But I really don't until I offer a tyre up
Will probably buy one first for testing!
I honestly don't expect much more than that
The outer panel will bolt on and then there will be half a door aperture that needs welderising and maybe a few panel brackets here and there
Will have a good look round the donor vehicle and pinch what i can ready cut!
Yep door are the same, just bolt on the three door quarter, and then fill in the gaps
Dimensionally the cars are identical, just the rear doors that alter things a bit, but should be no big deal, I'm not scared of cutting the ####er up :D
I don't know about that but you can get big torque converter kits for 22s from ashcroft and they are a fabulous mod, can make it drive almost like a manual
Yeah I mean I'm not holding my breath until I see them in person
They say they stand around 13" wide but this might be unmounted
Either way they are recommended for a 12" rim, but I was thinking a 10" beadlocked will make an 11" give or take
Really trying to keep tread ballooning to a minimum...
Well...
It's a long story but the short version is im kinda hankering over some larger tyres
Or at least some days I am some days I'm not
I really don't want to spoil the drive characteristics too much but have to face facts that these tyres aren't realistically tall enough
Have set eyes on...
and if you're putting any decent amount of money into a 94mm block it is my estimation that you should top hat it
3.9s are ok cos they never ran that hot so tend not to fail as badly, but 4.6 in a p38 ran on a piping hot thermostat and is just not a trustworthy motor without tophats imo
I mean...
I never said don't strip the new motor down and start again, but for the prices of them you might as well start with a runner rather than one that has been stressed
Anyway I have to say I'm excited to hear what's the dealio with the old motor
Extreme :D
Hey Drizz might aswell ask
I'm thinking about doing some similar work to my car to take 37s
Won't be touching the chassis, just going 3door conversion and arch tubbing to take the tyre size
What arch extebsions are they?
They look ideal
All the best, Sam
