~KnuckleDuster~ Posted December 21, 2008 Author Share Posted December 21, 2008 No new progess as of yet. Rear end should be done after x-mas. Front suspension has been done however. You can notice in these pics the front is about an inch lower than the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~KnuckleDuster~ Posted January 3, 2009 Author Share Posted January 3, 2009 Car weighed at its current condition @ 2459 lbs Rear suspension is under construction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~KnuckleDuster~ Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 Rear suspension is now complete. Big improvment over the blown struts and 30 something year old springs. Also did the spark plugs. Ive been working on a cold air intake recently out of spare pipes. Don't mind how crude it looks now Ill end up making it much better this was mainly for testing. Gave me some better top end power and made the exhaust note a bit deeper. Video was taken and should be up soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~KnuckleDuster~ Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 Header is on. Had to cut a piece of the motor mount and grind down a nut. Just barely fit in there. Going to hook up the rest of the exhaust tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~KnuckleDuster~ Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 Got the exhaust all hooked up today. Definatly putting down more power now. Mid/Top end pulls alot harder. Exhaust tone is louder at wot and sounds alot more high strung. Hoping to get it dyno'd soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~KnuckleDuster~ Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 Well the subby diff was sold due to much more modification needed to use it. I just purchased a Fairlady R-180 with lsd and a 4.11 gear ratio, and the previous owner had bought it in 95 with aprox 30k miles on it. Very happy about this diff.
