All of the front suspension stuff is custom made by shane whalley. I am waiting on him to release camber plates to the public so I can gain some clearance between my bags and wheels.

yay!!! Coming along nicely! I saw you sent me an fb event invite to springfest since it is in June I am a lot more likely to attend!

[JASOONIGAN]

Painted the cage a basic silver/Aluminum color, Just needs to be cleared. Plan on using bed liner for the floor boards. Its to cold for that step though so i may have to wait for summer.

Looking good!

[SebastienPeek]

This gon' be good.

Why is it that the American's can do an Aussie muscle car better than us Australians?
Does my head in. Too many bogans here.

[JASOONIGAN]

Taped off the floors and applied Rustoleum truck bed liner. Applied it with a textured roller and it came out pretty well.





No other real updates, I got the flu right after finishing this up. Starting to feel better so i updated today. Going to start putting seats/Dash back in and then I'm going to tackle either brakes or the IRS..... Not sure yet.

[JASOONIGAN]

So f*ck the flu! Two weeks of that and I'm finally good. I test fit the panels on everything today (Still need to go pick up the door panels). Need some final trimming in a few places, but over all I'm happy with the feel when I sit inside this thing. Should be one rowdy bitch.

Lots happened over the past few days and parts keep showing up. Dropped the IRS for small rebuild and clean up consisting of Diff bushing, Spool install, Toe arms and Gforce solid sub frame bushings. Going to leave stock axles for now. When it was out I tackled the dual caliper set up also, And lots of wire wheeling and paint.



Gross. This is where all that wire wheeling comes into play.





Lots of painting, came out good imo.




Solid bushings pressed in.

Toe arms showed up, Thanks to Shane Whalley at Ice Nine Motorsports. Go give them a like on Facebook. He designed many parts for this build. Ill probably paint these later on.

Camber plates for the front showed, Another Shane Whalley piece. Ill get to those later.



Duels time, Just going to run stock calipers all round out back.





Chopped the spare wheel well out to make nice space for an access panel of some sort. This is just a ruff cut!!! I taped and made a clean cut and filed down the edges later on.



Cut the lower insert area out of the bumper, Car will be running a down pipe straight out of the fenders. This will contribute to getting the car into the air more easily as well. plenty of room to work now.



Mounted the cradle and diff. Lots of head room now.

[JASOONIGAN]

Tires showed up!! Went with a Nitto NT555. 225/40 up front and 265/35. They stretched beautifully thanks to the dudes at Vagwerks in Martinsburg WV.





Hope to get the last of the suspension mounted up when weather permits then wheels are going on.
