Default My 3 door 1990 track car

This is the story so far with my track car.
After a few trackdays last year i decided to make a few changes.
More power, better handling and safer construction.
As it was with the 3door kit



As it is now with out it



So out with the 2.0 Dohc and in with a Cossie lump. The V6 type
old engine


V6 24 valver


Fitted it from the bottom


Also changed the 4x4 box into a 2wd

Then it was time to try the top mounts. trial fitting.

To get the top mounts to fit the 4x4 struts the top bearing needs to be removed and spaced out with washers to stop it hitting the under side of the top mount.



After making a template for the mounting holes. The strut top was drilled



Then on to fitting the seats



Its of to have the cage done next week.
