amen.

I also bought a cheap mig welder to learn and do some of the simple stuff.

Anything major would go to a welder in my area... BAMF (Bay Area Metal Fabrication) in Benicia.

thank you sir. Sucked that I had to sell it but I had to focus on my Corolla.

Thanks guys! I'll keep updating :)

I found/scored an AW11 manual steering rack at the Richmond Pick and Pull one early Saturday Morning.

Scored a pair of real Bride's from a couple of car trades and parts shuffling.

Had to pull the engine to finalize the crossmember and clean up the engine bay so I can figure out which brake master cylinder and pedal set up I'll be using

Image

Crossmember is trimmed and ready to be sealed up and painted. This is an AE86 crossmember narrowed by about 3 inches. I moved one of the steering rack mounts for engine clearance and notched a bit from the front for the oil pan to clear.

Thanks bro!

I did a bit more sound deadening removal but decided to try the dry ice technique:

Cleaner IMO:

Some pics of the GTS rear end work:

Cleaned up and painted:

Image

Tacked the leaf spring mounts into place and took it to the welder to be welded securely. lol

Image

I'll get some shots of it mounted up soon. It's currently mounted but I've been forgetting to take pics. I'm just waiting on my Brake Master Cylinder to arrive tomorrow and then I'll get started on reinstalling the pedal box, heater core, engine and trans... Once everything is in place, I'll have the drive shaft made and start on wiring and hoses etc...

I wanted to clean up the rust around the master cylinder area so I drilled out the spot welds and hit it with the wire wheel.

I ordered a wilwood master cylinder for space issues and some weld through primer. It should be arriving soon and I'll post updates later this week. :D
