That is soooo gonna rub! Black n white looks ace.
its gonna get some love from the nubbler lol
looking good.
Thats gonna rub worse than a dog with flees!
Any way you can slim the beam down 5mm?
Or is it gonna be an arch lip romoval, and thinner tyres on the rear?
Also, ENGINE PICS:d:d
its not going to rub lol, how the fook do you trim the beam down 5mm and the tyres are staying lol
Shim in a littke bit of camber?
but then i just makes the top of the wheel hit the coil over so dosnt help me really buddy !
just dont run it to low. looks realy smart with them wheels. need to get it on the floor on all four wheels cos at the mo your pushing one side up witch is giving you negative camber. your find it will be even closer to the arch when on the floor. i did the same thing on mine the other week.
And brownies bird would knowlol lol lol lol lolQuote:

but i noticed your bottom ball joints look like they haven't been fitted correctly, i think they should be bolted under the lower arm not on top of it?
here's minehttp://i689.photobucket.com/albums/v...1010012a-1.jpg's
Good spot 7ova but its perfectly fine. You have to run them that way when running an f28 gearbox. Its perfectly safe.
Simps you dont run them like that on a F28 nova. You should run them like this:Quote:

I know when running an f20 the N/S driveshaft pops out with that set up, never heard of it needing to done when using an f28 though.
as rick say when running an f28 its on the bottom, but im only running F20. The only reason it like that is so it easier for me to slide them out the way when the engine is lifted in lol
an you know she would deck you where you stood if she had read it lolQuote:

it just jumped out at me as being wrong
because i'm still a small block GSI man with a F13 box ;)
didnt want you to have any problems from it.
tie bar has to be on top!Quote:
