another update..
i've been finding time difficult to come by, i've been trying to get a little done each week to keep things moving along. i fabricated up a battery box to replace the rusted out original, fitted the new induction, sourced and purchased alot of parts. I managed to get around to rebuiding my swivel hubs, new bearings, wheel bearings, seals ect. Fitted new x-drilled and slotted rotors for the time being till i can afford the 330mm 4pot brake upgrade (if needed) to the front, fitted new pads all round, rebuild all calipers, new rear rotors, new brake hoses, new extended brake lines, new brake master, new clutch master and slave, new braided clutch line, stripped down and regreased my wiper motor, installed a new clutch booster, lots of tidying up, and fabricated the new drivers floor pan.
Today i was fitting the clutch line and slave, while fitting the push rod to the slave, i managed to pop the clutch fork out of the carrier, which after about 2hrs of stuffying around to attempt to get it back in (unsuccessfully), i jumped online to find out it is possible to get it back in, but some have spent up to 18hrs of labour to get it there. I have next to no room due to a 3" collector from the exhaust, and to pull the box out will be a nightmare (headers off, engine mounts out, lots of wiring has to be removed etc etc). I'll buy and endoscope/inspection camera this week to give me some visibility and attempt it without removing the box.
keeping in mind that this project started as pretty much an incomplete body and chassis only, parts have been difficult to find in good condition, meaning most parts have been purchased new. My budget for the build has already blown out 300%, i'm hoping the build will run smooth from here on out.
i'll get some photo's up throughout the week
What box are you running mate, the gq one ?? You should be able to pop the boot and fit the retaining clip and push the fork onto its pivot within 10 mins mate with ease!!
Short shift on a GQ box is a great Mod as well. gives about 50mm to 75mm throw
No external linkages uses only OE
yeah mate, the gq one.. i'll get a photo tomorrow to show you what im dealing with.
threedogs, where do you find the gq short shifters? ive been keen to get one, but i haven't looked real hard. even thought about making one.
