Trigs drift car project (350 power)

Recommended Posts

Just had a little tidy up and pulled all the panels back off but had a play with one of the wings.

Thinking of pressing some holes in them too? Or is this just OTT???

I think it will look cool but should I just leave the outside looking smooth standard???

They will let heat air out as behind the wing it's just a big air block. But yeah I think the stock look on the out side too.

I can always do something later on.

This is the water rail I had to cut change the angle a little and extend to meet up with the new rad position.

Then I fooked about with ARB to give me bit more caster.

After a spot of lunch I open a delivery to find it was the wiper motor I ordered so that was next.

Brackets made.

Trial fitted and tack in place.

And the LHD scuttle fitted to the single wiper conversion.

Then I welded up the hole for the old wiper arm and thought I better fill in some of the rusty holes.

Yes +1000 with that. Other than this the rest of the exterior should look stock.

 

Trig, what do you estimate the final dry weight to be? Do you have a power to weight target? With your mad skills you can build your own sc/turbo setup easy if you needed more power to get this baby frisky!
