Ok, folks. A lot of progress with the car. Almost finished painting the body.
I am not going to show the hole car before all details are done. But here's a sneak peek of one of my "secrets" ;) More to come, so just stay tuned ;)

You got camber??

Mounted the body again today. It was very exciting to see how the stance for the rear was with the new tires.
So after I bolted on the rear fenders and installing the compressor and air tank, I was ready to drop this badboy.
I tried on some old front feders because the one's I'm using is bare metal at the moment.

And I was EXTREMLY happy with the results, no modification needed, and I got a 3-4mm gap between the tires and the rear arches.. PERFECTO!!! :D



















The front fenders are 10mm from the ground. ;)

*Update*

Not finished...




Stripped the engine and did some cleaning. A lot of work but I'll think the result will be ok.




A BIG shipment from the states arrived today.




Some goodies..






More...



Sebring sports exhaust to give the engine some sweet noise this season



More engine parts and J-tubs



G-Caps... red of course



New rust red door panels


After some hours in the garage today the engine is almost done.

Got my batteries today. I am going to mount two them under the backseat.
One for the starter and door poppers, and one for the air ride etc.




Yesterday I got the dual battery isolator.




The engine is now assembled and I only need to connect all the hoses.



Tjaap 27-05-2008 15:33

DrLaban 28-05-2008 05:53

Installed the engine last night. Without a scratch *puhh* :)




The time is running from me guys. I am supposed to be finished with this car for Bug Run i Mantorp/Sweden, which is 6-8 of June :o
If all parts arrive in time and nothing is happening I THINK I am going to make it ;)

I also ordered a upgrade of my air suspension some days ago.

5 gallon tank (the one I got is 2 gallon)




Two Viair 380 Chrome compressors (got one 280 Chrome today)




Stay tuned!
