<p>Damo i feel for you , my LH build has stalled since 2013 due to a few companies like the mc donald brothers IFS tubular front i purchased the geometry issues terrible ackermann ratio and there weak as piss rear lower adjustable trailing arms also my dealings with shit panal beaters and dont start me on upc pathetic brake kits, and certain aftermarket engine mounts that place your engine either to high or to low or off the piss LOL and a hot shot exhuast business that i didnt ask for a price and i agreed to them ,that the 321 stainlss steel 1-3/4 16g bends of 3 differnt radius and burns stainless 4 to 1 collectors that i supplied would take a heap of hours to fabricate and espeicialy as close as possible to equal length . They had my car for over 2months and after trying to convince me too go with steam pipe log style manifolds and than said a equal length turbo headers was not possible and its not needed as every one else doesnt bother, so i sent a pic to them of the set of equal length turbo headers i made in 2008 with a stock front end, this was before my spinal cord injury resulting in my self becoming a quadrapledgic in a chair and losing the function of my hands in 2010,They just replied back with they dont have the time to do them like i had done ,so i had the car picked up. So since i cant do the work any more its really brought to my attention how incompetant the whole automotive industry is. So i put the lh on my hoist and with my girl friends 18 year old son and a few friday nights and plenty of jack danial cans teaching him how to cut and tack stainless with a tig, we built the drivers side and than i had a professional welder fully purge weld them and they bolted up mint to the turbo just need to do a mirrow image set for the passenger side,  I hate having to relye on others when in the past i didnt have to as i could do a heap my self frOcking kills me .

Az, mind me asking what the issue was with the Mcdonald rear lower trailing arms?

Gday guys,

Not much to really update on the car.

Its still sitting in the shed with the engine,box and all the other stuff in it.

It has the old front end in it at the moment, fuel system is done and some new interior bits sitting there for it.

It was nice to finally deal with a company that delivered what was promised.

Massive thanks to BullitA9X for putting me into contact with the guys at Dash Original.

Work was spot on and nice guys deal with.

 

House reno's and shooting things has been getting preference lately but may have some more motivation in the next few months.

Have to get onto the wiring and then it should make the right noises!!

Cheers

Damo
