well wicked....

I'm using a Hilux LSD. I had the housing professionally shortened (saving me the hassle of making a jig to keep it straight when welding). But shortened and restudded the axles myself.




The hole in the bottom left of the pic is where the battery will sit.

haha so this is the reply to my pm.....

its gonna be one insane wagon!!!

so cool man, its gonna be so cool when done. is it gonna be a track car or street weapon?

The rear "seat" will be covered in and carpetted. So it'll look factory (apart from the rollcage poking through). Mocked it up out of MDF atm, but will probably replace with panel steel or aluminium eventually.

all i can say is FUCK YEA!!!! i have a new found inspiration for my sunny wagon now, wow this things is going to be awesome, will be watching very closely, and mate you got some sweet skill's i love it

Just a "street weapon".
Original plan was to do it cheap, have some fun doing skids in it, then sell it.
But I don't like doing things by halves, so I've gotten carried away with the mods and fabrication, and I doubt I'll want to sell it once it's finished!

Front struts and brakes are from a Bluebird. Struts have adjustable coilovers fitted, with HKS springs from a Skyline. After some research and measuring, decided to go with 300ZX shocks, as they fit in the struts and should suit the weight of the RB.

Don't have pics of them atm, but here's a pic with them installed, and the wheels I'll be running:

good to hear man, do it properly 1st time, and be 100% happy
