After digging a few FB post I have some pictures that may be worthy to share...
I Finally got my shipment of the parts from Japan.
it was bigger than i taught it would.
First of all, I went on a Friday after knock off early from work to the airport cargo area and found out the Ute that i borrowed from my mate, is not going to fit all of the items.
I ended up spending a good hour or so wondering arround the airport complex to get my AirWay bill cleared out form custom
Forwarder Dock - Custom house (custom fee $) - Freight broker (Release fee $) - Custom house (stamp) - dock (wow that is a big packages)
Went back the following day (Saturday) and this time i was well prepared with a 6x4 trailer on tow!
and i filled them up easy...
Back to the house and start unwrapping my early christmass pressent that i bought for my self...
JDM yow...
My new (used) un-manggled bonnet
the illusive buble top
US Racing Kit
well atleast they all here, and mostly are stored away now to my spare rooms until i finish the conversion.
now update with the K swap.
Heck it was hella lots of cut and re structuring the bay.
custom mounts etc... definately almost impossible... there is times that i was thinking what am i throwing my self into!
i've lost a few photos that i didn't get it backed up
but here is a few that i have again.. on FB ...
Left Wheel hub - inner shaft
right wheel hub - inner shaft
left
Right
This is a much as i could get.
it sits as far up as possible - and yet to retain the straight shaft as you can see on above image drive shaft have to be almost inline
sits as far back as possible for the drive shaft to sit yet again alsmot inline
after speaking to a few drive shaft shop, i found the right guy to manufacture it.
we shall see how we go on this current mounting position.
once the drive shaft is done, Engine is again coming out to get fully serviced
Belts, injectors cleaned, broken sensor replaced etc.
then finalized the weld and tidying it up.
seal the weld and spray of new paint on the bay.
at the moment its all just 50-50 on temporary and fully welded.
lots of tidy up to do so, I'll keep you guys updated how i go with the shaft.
After ALLL THAT!
then i will start the wiring and lastly, shifter linkage hahahah! i hvnt actualy look into this yet but, yes is still do able may be in reverse mode
Loving the process you've taken and the progress you've made.
Keep the good shit going ########
