brucers GT/LET wip.

update

got a good start on the car today, started on with the fuel pipes again. 'p' clipped and riveted them down to the floor pan. cut them to length either side were they come out, gave them a minor flare and put rubber grommets in the holes i made for them.

after this i got one of my softstars out to see how they would sit with the coilovers in postion...to my disapointment they didnt fit.

the wheel itself misses the spring but the tyre fouls the spring. ive always ran 205/40/16 tyres on this car but im going to have to try a 195/45/16. i think that should be all that it needs. im hoping....


so i put back on the gte/sr wheels so i can still move it about and dropped it back on the floor.

wound this side all the way down the shock to see how low it would sit, as far as i know these are standard length bodied ones.

i then turned the car around and stripped all the suspenion components off so i can get them ready for powdercoat.

more updates to come soon. :)

bruce

looks very good mate

Looking very nice matey.

iain

Really good quality build keep it up!

Did you try the soft star on the beam with the car on the floor??

As in most cases the springs foul on the wheel/tyre etc when the cars jacked up etc, worth a look?

Other wise the cars looking ace mate, oh are you boxing in the cut out for the cooler, or leaving them with the box exposed?

Scott

mmmmm stunning mate

I envy thee with thy lovely clutter free garage. Mines a nightmare to work in atm.

Great work and do like the effect of the red brake lines. :thumb:

yeh i lowered it back onto the ground and pulled the car to see if it rolled free and you could here the tyre rubbing.

the cut outs on the front are there kind of for a purpose, my intercooler ends stick further back than IC middle section. i just didnt ever weld in plates into those cut outs further back.



thanks for the comments danny s-p, nov4 sport, comptoncj, gunny, nova tek and andy. hopefully my hard work will pay off soon and see more of a whole car. really cant wait! :d

lookin good mate:thumb:
