Some stuff not from 1973

Gradually collecting parts as funds permit:


Lee's Massive brake kit: Two piece rotor design with teflon coated stainless braided lines will allow the mounting of 11.75" diameter 1.25" width vented rotors with 4 pot wilwood calipers. Rear kit soon to come.

You'd be excited too if youve been breathing 30 year old undercoating through a $5 mask for a couple months.

Front sway bar kit: 22mm hollow adjustable front sway bar kit has the stiffness of a 25mm solid bar.

22mm rear sway bar, fully adjustable.

These plates weld onto the rear subframe to make camber and toe adjustable.

Coilover sleaves weld onto the front struts for front ride height adjustment. Rears will also have full coilover setup.

Welding and Flipping

The trunk is only partially framed-out for now. Im waiting to finish it up until i finally decide on exactly how the fuel cell is to be mounted, and how Im going to seal it up.

In about five minutes it went from jackstands to a pile of tires on its side. While its in this position im going to cutoff any unneccesary brackets and grind down all of the undercoating. Then POR15, primer, and fresh undercoating.

POR-15

Any areas prone to rust will be treated with POR-15

These are the Recaros that will be going in. I feel they are very period correct despite the fact theyre from a factory Japanese Toyota 4Runner. They came with matching rear bench and door panels. Not sure if Im going to use either. The pictures make them look like they have stains, but theyre actually in near mint condition...

Junk in the Trunk

Been working on the "new" trunk. The stock trunk has provisions for a spare tire and the stock fuel tank. I've cut this out in favor of a custom trunk to allow mounting of a fuel cell, battery, strut bar, and roll bar tie-in. Still playing around with ideas....


This is what is left of the old trunk...

Starting to frame in the new trunk. The fuel cell is a powdercoated aluminum, foam filled cell with a 2" sump.
