I love how usually when people say go AWD or something ridiculously awesome like this, they say yes as a joke and laugh about it.
So awesome that you're actually doing it haha.

Started on the Body Rotiserie

Looks like a good start, can't wait to see the whole rear end chopped out
By that stage you might be going............ what have I done!
Just remember with AWD you can run more boost, more boost = bigger grin.

We have some measuring to do... or some serious fabrication...

[ranton-inc]

Rotisere almost done hopefully this week

Cheers verty for the help

Then measurements begin and then the decision is to be made as to weather we graft the 4 motion rear pan in or start fabricating the various mounts to mount the rear setup in

As for this weekend im at the snow so ciao for now

[GoLfMan]

steaming along mate! Love your work

[ranton-inc]

so the rotisere has been a bit of a flop at this stage.. the pivot point is a little bit high i think? :-/


and the car is floating sqewif... (did a test seating of it)


but other then tht it looks ok-ish


What do you reckon?

[blinkx]

I dont think it looks too bad

when you come to put the rear in your going to like the height considering your going to need the car level and going to need to be under it doing bits and pieces. Well i think so lol

but even if you don't like it later its pretty easy to cut and weld to make it lower.

Love the build BTW

keep it up

Going to drop the Pivot Pins front and rear by about 15 - 20cm on thursday night to see if that evens out the Centre of gravity more so..

its never going to be perfect after all its just a means of rotating the shell to make it easier to work on and ****..

At the moment if the roof was heavier (ie the pivot pins were at the true centre of gravity) the shell would be able to be spun without fouling...

kinda like a dirty girl getting spitroasted
