Bulfab 1 peice front crossmember and mustache bar showed up today along with my full poly bushing set.

 

[DsmDolney]

Little update, I dropped the complete rear end to send off to get powdercoated and also replace the upper and lower control arms with Volk tubular control arms, all bushings / bolts will be replaced as well. Also my jmfab fuel cell came in and my fic 2150s. The fuel cell will be installed after I get the rear end back together.

Finished up gutting the rest of the interior tonight and man that sound insulation stuff behind the dash is heavy as hell. Also pulled all the heater / ac junk, I have to say it was all quite a bit of weight all together. Now just to paint the cage and put the some of the interior back in.

 

[DsmDolney]

Some more of the goods. Frontline fab rear diff cover and bearing caps

 

[DsmDolney]

Got the rear end assembled featuring some Volk control arms, all new bolts, and new poly subframe bushings ready to be put back in just need to throw the axles in. Up next I am going to work on collecting all my fuel system supplies

 

[DsmDolney]

Small update on the car, I have been working on wrapping up the interior with painting the cage and all, that will be all done with very soon. Also started to tear into the front end a little more sanding it down and getting it ready for paint.

 

[DsmDolney]

Finally got my rear end all bolted up after waiting awhile for bushings to show up. Also figured I mise well throw some arp wheel studs in while everythin is apart. Up next is to finish up the inside of the car with paint and then move onto the front end.

Got my interior back together for the most part tonight. Color matched the whole inside along with painted the cage and floor black. My clear coat did not turn out what so ever but I just said F it. Ill go back to the interior and make it real nice when the car runs. Looks alot better than before so that is a plus atleast. Next up is to gut the doors

Looks good the only rough part are those shocks. I really like your rear diff cover.

I want that wheel/tire combo

 

[DsmDolney]

Picked up a scirocco style radiator setup with 16an fittings and lines from a local friend. Saves me the hassle of getting fittings welded on a new one. Finally can get it mocked up and get brackets made up. Also a big change is going to be coming to the car, lets just say it may no longer be blue.

 

[DsmDolney]

Actually got around to having a free night and decided to get the radiator bolted up and fitted. Fits perfect and tucks out of the way for plenty of room for turbo stuff !!

Great progress! Can't wait to see how it turns out!

I believe this is the only set other than the ones carbonetics makes for their 3 peice front end. A local to me made these in an auto body class.

How much lighter is the fuel cell compared to the normal tank?
