I've actually searched to see how much work you had done since last time I checked but the stupid search function didn't turn any result. Anyway nice job, can't wait to see the final result.

very cool
That looks really good, nice job. I've been talking to my mechanic about doing someting similar, using the parts from my wrecked '93, putting into an 84 shell. (The 93's engine and suspension are fine, it's mostly just the body thats f***) Did you mount the FD rear suspension cradle to the FB chassis, graft in the FD rear, or make a custom subframe?
We are leaning towards a combination of using the FB chassis with subframe reinforcements in the rear. The front end would use the standard rear engine mounts, but still deciding on how to install the steering and suspension (I searched and found info about installing FC front suspension/steering but nothing about FD, weird). I guess there are many ways to skin a cat, but wondered what you did. Or do you mind sharing that info? Anyhow looks good thanks for the inspiration.
