Caallym's CA18 1980 Sunny Sedan

Post by CASunny »

Hello All

Ive been slowly building the sunny for the last few years....
Has now got a Ca18det with GT2560?S15 ball bearing, 560cc evo 7 injectors, Sard regulator and a couple other things
Only loom and a few bits till shes running...
Has a Hilux Lsd and Gtst 4 pots on the front but still all suspension work to be done.
Im not much of a welder so had to get a workshop to make all my mounts :cry:
Some very talented fabricators about on here i see lol i envy you.

Ill post more Pictures when i get a chance....

Cheers,

Caallym

Well ive been spent hours fuking around trying to mount it but pretty limited for space...Would like to go bozo but its asking for some fuckwit to try and pull it off... :lol:
Looks like its going to be between the radiator and intercooler, cant fit it anywhere else as braided hoses
are set lengths and only bracket is on the top.
Will be getting 1 hose cut down by enzed as its a good 400mm too long and should have all done next week.
Everything is on and cable tied in place for the moment will post some pictures in afew days...
