Installed the G force Panhard bar and poly bushings on the 4 control arms, unreal diff.

setup rear-- respeed 280lb springs, adj collars, poly bushings, tokico adj, racing beat sway bar

Car is off to the bodysop tomorrow, after 2 years its almost done

couple of interior shots

 

Very nice. I love the interior. Its always great when hard work pays off

 

Looking great, any engine bay pictures?

 

nothing crazy, mild port, microtech, hopefully like 300hp

another pic before final suspension work, have to move the rear end half inch to the left, the great thing og th e panhard adjustibility

 

very nice, and a reliable 300hp is great. I just thank god it didn't have a stock 12a under the hood.

 

Awesome, I believe we are the only guys on this forum with turbo widebody first gens now? Should be awesome when it's done. I need to get my microtech tuned and finish some electrical, exhaust and then mine will be on the road.

Your interior looks like it has undergone basically the same transformation as mine from red to grey. A bunch of work but worth it!

 

very nice

 

Thinking about having the bodyshop weld a solid roof from a GS I have as i dont like the sunroof.

The metal is thin so its tricky i heard

 

You have any side shots of the car. Really interested in the wheels. Good looking car!

 

Are u running a t2 tranny? if so, can u post pix on how u modify the tranny mount ?

 

Heres how mine is, note the spacer nut between the two mounts I took off after because it caused my driveshaft to bind due to the angle. Works perfectly, shifter sits back maybe 0.5-1.0" further than stock.

 

Dan, i think i saw you are running a ford rear end from prior posts, i have the SE rear end hopefully it holds up.

I know dead stop launches will kill the rear end as i have ccw 17-12 like you. But I highly rec the panhard, as my rear end shifted alot going up embarkments,

i will try to dig up some pics of a car similiar to yours that was built in the 80's here in miami the guy poored like 30--40k in the car ,wild, it was black same flair kit as yours custome red interior, full race car for the street

 

Very cool, I would be very interested in seeing that. With the ford rear end (8.8) I am using full adjustable heim links, and everything is very stiff and I cant really see the rear end shifting much.

I agree with you about the launching, i'm now mostly afraid of the transmission blowing up. I have a scattershield just in case for the clutch, with the exception of the engine the trans are the most likely part to fail in my situation. TII transmissions are pretty easy to locate for me at the moment but if I keep having issues I may goto a ford T5.

Basically when it goes build it better and stronger and go from there!

 

Nope but 2 of a LIMITED #

MAJOR modification, but I hope this counts in your category of "widebody"







BEAUTIFUL job on all you have completed so far...looks VERY nice and clean!

 

And this guy lives outside of Miami, but I forget his screen name

 

I guess there is Steve as well, fair to say one of 10 or so.

 

Very nice! Interested in what wheels you have also? I wan't to see someone build a white widebody! Maybe i'll have to do it. White IMSA body, CCW Classics, and a turbo 13b...

 

its nice to see the car coming together! it really looks nice and i'm sure after its painted it'll look a million times nicer! what color did you decide on?

 

Very nice build!

 

Although it is not turbo'd, Billy Waits old Re-Speed widebody now has forced induction. My wife isn't afraid of it either so it doesn't just sit in the garage. He did the whole rear end with adj heim joints and I agree with Dan's assessment it doesn't shift that much and is very stiff. It will be a bitch for me to drive it across country to 7-stock but i will get over it

 

Yikes! I'm not sure what kind of body that is. Rice bowl with chrome maybe?

 

Is that the Mariah GTU kit or some other one and are those rear flares just the standard ones that come with the kit?

 

I guess you can call the bodykit on my first gen for a widebody as well? and i got a turbo, dont i count? :P

 

Of course your car counts
