A little streamlining of the wheel well exits to help the air evacuate. After doing all that sheet metal work on the firewall I figured now was the perfect time to finish this job.

Both sides came out really nice.

That looks amazing man.

MY00 Red RX, a nice daily that was sold off once the B4 became reliable...
MY02 Blue B4, aka 'The Project' - v8 JDM STi engine package and assorted other 'goodies' - Sold, then bought back for parts. Stripped and crushed.
MY03 Blue RX, the newer old daily, pretty well more B4 than RX now... In the process of being converted to the track toy... Watch this space!
MY02 Silver Wagon, H6 conversion, full blue/black leather and almost full black interior to go with it.
MY03 White/Silver H6 Outback, donor car for silver waghoon.
MY97 Silver RX, acquired to become track car, but plans changed. To be stripped and scrapped in time.

Neat work as usual!

I have been working on the front pushrod suspension. The design I made for the bellcranks have been transferred into CAD software and then 3D printed by my friend at work. This allows me to fabricate shock mounts and bellcrank mounts on the main frame rail and also the pushrod mounts on the lower control arms.
 
Some revisions will be made and this is the beauty of 3D printing them first but eventually they will be CNC machined from aluminium alloy.

Looking good, and an extremely effective use of a 3D printer too! Do like!

Cheers,

This may well be my favorite part of the build so far.

 

Awesome!

No idea you broke your leg, not an easy task I bet! You certainly know how to do things “properly!” All the best for a speedy recovery.

Cool video, I dare say they’ll be a hit ;)

Another video on my channel. This one is basically what's required to finish the project and some of the thoughts behind my decisions moving forward with the build.

Hey guys, it has been a while!
 
I have 2 new videos for you. It's explained in the videos but basically I built a big trolley so I can keep the car lifted up high so it's easier to work on and can be pushed back in the corner at the end of the day.
 
Part 1.
 
 
Part 2.
