looking good matey
mine still has no tubs/tin
looking at running some pre fabbed tubs, only problem is the gen one rails are not striaght, might mount them so they cover the whole rail and it will just overlap the rail at the back about 1.5"
not really a big drama
id belive it to that to install a rear clip to be cheaper. i was disalusioned to haha

Not only did the tires hit the stock tank, the rear coilovers would also hit the stock tank. So, I sold it and will be using a cell. I hope to find one or find a adapter so that I can use my stock fill up location. I hate the idea of opening the hatch to fill a tank.
I want to tub my car as well, only issue is I don't want to spend a whole lot on a new rear axle.

My rear ended up being about 44 inches from housing end to housing end and i can run a 10.5 tire with more than enough clearence to the frame rails. The four link on my car is 20inches wide and the shock mounts are about an inch or so to each side of that. You gonna go with that diesel *** tire or you gonna run like a 10 or 10.5? If so what are you gonna get for a tranny doug nash, g force, supra maybe.....

This car will see mostly street use so that's why I'm running the 325 drag radials. Since my 325's have a much larger foot print that the 10.5, I'll will have plenty of room for the 10.5's and even the 10.5W's if I want to ever use them. My 325's are 13.1 inches wide from sidewall to sidewall.
I think it's safe to say that these 325's are the widest tire you can run on a stock untouched frame.
Right now, I'll drive it around with the TII Transmission but I have a C4 waiting to go in at some point.

Not much clearance but just enough.......... need to get the rearend sand blasted and coated now ...
not sure if I'll get much more done today, I went and picked up some 1/8 inch plate for back plating the crossmember and shock mounts
maybe I'll get those cut out
