joa, Great idea with the detachable front clip. I'm thinking of doing a similar adaptation.
Fine work, all around!

before and after rear knuckle



Removed the e brake since i will run a dual setup hydraulics




Tranny in house (like in transmission, not *******)


I am missing the cluster surrounding as you see, if someone has on shout out.. i need one, it can be in bad shape since i will rebuild it anyway.


Everything is powdercoated, also the rear subframe not in this picture


Before/after, hubs calipers






The car is coming together nicely now, just waiting for ecu and harness to arrive soon from psi

I don't have the patience to build something this nice, awesome build,

Would you know how much smaller that trans is than the T56, looks pretty small and might be something I might look into if it will "fit"

It's amazing what you are doing with a blasting cabinet and some powder coat. Bringing parts back from the dead and making them look new.
