If the original chassis is going and you're building a new one, why not make it a little longer and get the engine in the bay without cutting the bulk head. Just need to make the bonnet and sides longer.

wont be stretched.
this is low budget build.stretching costs wonga.

started this properly yesterday.

got rear narrowed.jeez there fidley things to take apart

cars going up in height a bit.

owner didnt like my killer stance

 

[ifan.miller]

once again some very neat work, im going to enjoy this build how far you going with it?

 

[nobody]

have a budget.

will get full rolling chassis and tie the body into it.

owner should be doing some of the resto work

 

[Stinkeys]

[ifan.miller]

ford 302 is smaller than a rover V8

 

[harris66]

whats the plan for the lower coilover mounts? and out of interest whats the overall width of this one?

cheers, paul

 

[nobody]

rover engine is here for it,plus a manual box.

cut out the bit of the axle where the shock were mounted so i could sleeve it the full lenght.

undecided how ill remount the single coil over yet.

prob just a simple bracket of the back,

axle is 1200 hub face to hub face.took 360mm out of overall width from stock.could prob have gone another 10mm wider each side at the rear.

ill wait till later in the build to put it through its travel, for clearances.


can always add a small spacer as hub studs need to be changed anyway to longer ones

 

[nobody]

slightly narrowed jag front end.

will be using a lhd granada rack to make it work

:tup: :tup:

 

[Lee]

How much width has gone from the subframe?

 

[Spiv]

See what you mean by slightly8)

 

[nobody]

narrowed it 360mm same as the rear.

dont think you could get a rack in if you went narrower.

unless you went centre steer rack

 

[Lee]

It'll be interesting to see how you narrow the rack.

 

[ROCKIN WOLEY]
