I will be sure to post pictures as I go and as I find time. I work two hours away so i'm limited to my time work on it. If anyone is around the area and wants to come give a hand give a shout!
I made and weld these in for the removable bar I am going to make later for the rear motor mount
My welder is old and doesn't do the best job but I made the best of it
I cut the radiator support to where its still going to be ridged as I am going to be running a short route fmic setup
Well I finally got around to painting the bay this weekend.. I stayed up late Sunday night to get this done with no regret of waking up at 5 am the next morning.
Of course I had 6 pack by my side to give me motivation
I was looking at the radiator that I had bought for my talon and it looked like it would be perfect. I don't know ill let you be the judge
Shifter is mounted.
The rear motor mount and crossmember bar is made. Needs some more work to be finished but here's a few pics.
I cut and flipped the mount bracket over and removed a few inches or so of material to shorten it. The reasoning for flipping the bracket is to still be able to
take the crossmember and the bracket out from up top. I'd rather not have to pull the down pipe and transfercase to acess them.
Pedals are mount . pedals themselves will be getting modified soon. As the hang to low and are little to far left but shuffling right isn't and option as the steering knuckle is in the way.
As of today (nov,26) this is how she sits. Didn't have time today to paint the bottom as the sun went down before I had the chance. Tomorrow morning she will see few coats of POR 15.
Went to my friends house yesterday and setup his powder coating kit and tested it on my motor mount bracket. Going back today to do some more stuff
Blasted aluminum finish
Wire tuck in progress. 3/4's of the way done
