What's the plan for the rear interior arch now you've cut it out?
-
ive just cut the inner skin it only hits about 4 inches up thats the spring i mean then its ok theres no weight in the back really so dont really need to strengthen that much really

thought i would reedo the back brakelines they was too tight the and i also put my bias brake adjuster in put it hear for now just so its out the way for the minute just got to get some p clips for the braided hoses forgot to get them oh well all i have to do is just put the front brakes back on put some fluid in and check for leaks hope there aint none

A good bash would of sorted the rear inner arch imo, only needs a few mm clearance. The rear shock bodys look pretty long, if thats how the springs are gonna sit then i'd lockwire them to the top spring cap & top of shock body so they attatched to the top instead of falling down on to the lower spring seat, the top spring seat looks like they could fall out from what i've seen with mine.
Manifold looks ok, you've saved yourself a hell of alot of work buying one already done, just in the middle of sorting mine, swapped the lower flange to suit a T3 tho, what turbo you gonna be running, GT28 ? you've gotta move the rad forward & chop the slam panel for clearance as well.
Seems to be coming along.

cheers r1ch gonna get a gt28rs i know about the rad and slam panel only needs abouy 4inch slot cut out whats lockwire are they fitted properly as never done coilovers before was gonna bash it in but im fussy like that i was going to get a t3 but the gt are dual bearing so the turbo down work as hard well it aint met my driving yet just waiting for the engine to come back phoning them tomorrow to see whats going on the i can put it in then weld the f28 mount up and some over bitsthat need doing
