Mmmmmm. Nice!

My custom engine mount

Who's doin yr repaint ?

Tight! Nice job though. Will be interested to know how it handles at the front end, it will sound the danglies though 8)

this is great, love to see people putting the effort in.
Could you possibly pm a phone number for the person who did your shafts? as i need a pair of shafts shortened also for a pd240 conversion.
thanks

Oh..

hi. just wondered how u were getting on with the car ? think i might go the narrowed track way with mine , as any sweet wheels i find always have to much poke. were u going to narrow the track rod end to ? ric

If you narrow the track, the rear shocks and front struts will all sit at funny angles? Don't the springs catch the tyres?

You'll have to shorten the steering arms too - does this affect the geometry and make the steering heavy?

Good effort though…

On the rear the way he's narrowed the beam won't affect the shock angle, as he's removed material from the part of the beam further outward than the shock mount.

On the front yes it will affect shock angle but nothing a pair of adjustable top mounts won't correct :wink: Everything needs to be shortened to match, driveshafts, track rods etc.  It will affect steering geometry but I doubt it will be noticable with 6 cylinders of awesomeness under your right foot


Nice work fella!

U hav to get adjustable top mounts
Cut down track rod ends an track it up an it's all sweet
An on rear the shocks stay in same place

kl . adjustable top mounts.take it there some sort of track product?  ill look in to it…. any pic's of the drive shafts yet. ric

Not got back yet but shudder be soon I'll let u no an get pic up
