Have done quite a few hours lately on the car for what feels like little progress. I hate it when some things take MUCH longer than anticipated. I did drink a lot of beer though (maybe that is the problem?)
Thought I would show quite a good way of quick releasing the bumper off. Remove the upper screw and drill though... and the some 50 x 50 box section fits niceley into the chassis rails to hold the bumper.
Also it sucks trying to fit some bigger rubber into the front - no wonder the sierra where undertyred (and the eggenberger crew got disqualified). It is almost imposssible to fit these tyres 240mm wide on to the front.
About 7mm clearance to the spring seat - I am going to turn down the spring platform and change the c spanner to get 5mm off the back face of the wheels.
Cut the poo poo out of the front bumper for turning clearance. Cry original 500 splitter.
Remove most of the metal underneath the arches.
Lininsh the back of the arches to fit.
Drill the spot welds on the front guard and space guard by 30mm. Also cut the crap out of this bracket to clear turning tyre.
Also fitted the oil cooler to the rear of the car - close to where I will mount the dry sump tank. Made a scoop to channel the air (it is designed so it will break off if hit by something and the mouting brackets for the oil cooler will remain).
Also mounted the power steering cooler.
