you can get a cheap rivet gun from home depot for like twenty dollars that will work great. and rivets if you want stainless I can tell you where to go. cuz I don't recall any of the places like home depot or lowes having anything worth a damn

 

Teddy, what rearend are you going to put in and where are you going to get it done at? I need one for my rx2 and looking for a good place to get a 9".

 

keep workin on it man......

 

ford. cheap easy to find.

 

8.8 or 9"?

 

9inch ford rear end for the explorer...all fab work is going to be done by me and my brother...were cutting out the floors from the fire-wall back...

more pics coming...got the stock fuel cell out...going to cut out the wheel well

yes it easy...and again 2cute has schooled us all...lol

9inch bro...

 

So I just got the stock fuel tank out...filler neck...and all lines back there...In the tank i was able to take the fuel out of rx7 tank and put that gas into my truck that gave me a 1/2 tank...and with gas prices going into $4 that was a huge relief on the pockets...lol...more pics coming




Getting ready to cut the wheel well out and make it flush up on the top side...

 

hey do me a favor please dont throw your old gas tank out i might need it. ill have to look soon. i think i have a pinhole leak but i wont know till i get it out of my car.

 

and yes im sure you can get an appropriate ford rear end for like $6 from a junk yard.

 

okay then i will leave in the back of my truck and just drop it off when i head your way with the SS lines for nick...

 

awesome. thank you. at this point that is the only thing i can figure out for the nasty fuel smell.

 

If my girl was like 2cute id be made...

 

Well then you came up on free tank playa...

Not me...id always let my her handle my car convo's and let her school peeps left and right...no shame in that...

Oh hell i would not be able to handle it. My girl just schooling me on **** all the time about cars and turbos and how to's. **** it. Hell no.

Q #1 it looks like that you have painted lexan on the inner side of the sunroof, to cover drainage flange. did you actually do it or its just a picture. If yes- what kind of paint did you use. in the past exparience i've had problems adhering krylon to acrylic without sanding the surface first?

Q #2 What thickness is the material?

Q #3 Is it possible to use wipers with lexan, or is it plastic-safe to treat the surface with rain-x to reflect water?

Q #4 How did you obtain S4 water pump adapter as pictured?

...amazing write up with lots of information. good luck

 

i can answer the lexan questions i installed it all.

yes the underside of the sunroof has been painted to cover up all the uglyness under there.

its 1/8" lexan

no you can not use the wiper blades with the lexan they will scratch it. and rain-x would eat the lexan so no.
