Started the rectification work on the boot floor. I am going to weld back in the spare wheel tub, just located a bit further back than original. That way it won't draw as much attention from rule makers.

Hey Howard, that would be great if you got some photos. Underneath the Torana's and their driveline. Would be good to see inside as well to see how they set up the dash and controls.
Have a great weekend up there, talk soon.
Cheers,

Ahh, but is it quicker than the mighty Torana??

It is one tough looking machine though.

stitch welding or full welding the panels (floor etc)?. Either way looks good

 

'Either floor to watts link' full weld or stitch I mean'. Full weld done properly is stronger. But I'm no expert lol just curious your own outcome

Agreed with that Tony, fully welded is stronger, that's why the SHS bar is fully welded to the rear chassis rail. All the strength is in that. That's why I only stitched the floor parts in.

Got the bracket and cover for the original dash holes all made up and fitted.

Also Got a bracket fitted to the tail shaft tunnel for the Motec touch pad.

Now that the L34 gig is over and done, time for race cars again. Got the links done for the steering installed. Not completely happy but will work on it.
Looking at exhaust as well. Factory cast iron fit in passenger side!! Didn't expect that.
