series II with ford crossflow

Post by stringfixer »

Series II in New Zealand, getting a tweaked 1600 ford crossflow/type 9 box. Servo and pedal box out of Nissan 260z, will be getting new dual circuit m/c to marina discs. Reinforcing across firewall to take pedal loads. Ford 626 collapsible steering column. Tele dampers, Vw beetle at front with dust shroud removed to allow trunnion clearance on full droop. Turreted rears - Holden Barina dampers, mounted at bottom on custom made brackets on escort axle. Been quite a bit of rust to sort out as well. Thought some of the engine mount pics might be useful to others.[frame]Image[/frame][frame]Image[/frame][frame]Image[/frame][frame]Image[/frame][frame]Image[/frame][frame]Image[/frame][frame]Image[/frame][frame]Image[/frame]

These rear turrets are going to need a lot of bracing to something much more solid! And the front dampers - acting half way along the lower arms, are surely going to be doing very little damping.....

I'm also running a 1600 xflow with brake bias system, good to see another project squeezing it all in :)
