All Motor FB, lotsa pics

Hey all, Just wanted to show everyone some pics of our project All Motor FB.

We had this 85 GSL-SE donated to us by our Tuner who wanted it out of his driveway, it has been sitting there 4 years without turning a wheel. I was very surprised to see how good the car was for rust, or lack thereof Once all the interior was pulled out, it revealed a very mint floor pan and inner fenders.

We just started this project 2 weeks ago, here is what it looked like once we got it to the shop

Here is our tire/wheel combo lol.

3 spoke 16" Advans with 255 Toyo RA-1's in the rear and the FC 4 bolt spares up front.







The 255's didn't quite fit in the rears so we ghetto rolled the fenders since we're painting the car anyways. We also installed the Re-speed rear coilover kit in it to get the right ride height.

Then the stripping began,









I bead rolled some door panels with a rotor shape in the center!



Partially finished cage, still need to run door bars and we're going to go through the firewall and attach it to the front strut towers







More updates to come once we have the cage finished and the car painted. Hopefully we'll have all the engine/driveline parts and we can start to make it look like a car again!

The black FB we were building for the Pro Compact class, but we couldn't get sponsers for it since its too old of a platform, instead we are building an 04 RX-8 into a Pro Mod car:



Lots of projects on the go!

The black FB we stripped down before is getting a Ford 9" built and backbraced for it as well as a 4 link setup. He's leaning toward a 355 V8 for it...but who knows.
We're going to get it up and rolling first lol.

Cage is now finished, not much else to report....still waiting on parts coming from the US. Half the season is gone here in Canada now...boooo.

The rear tires are Toyo RA1's 255-60R 15's





I think we should have all the parts by mid July

FINALLY got the PP housings!!

Also got Billy's ReSpeed rack and pinion kit, Moser axles, 4.77 gears.

I'm picking up my S5 N/A rotors from our machine shop this week also. Had them tip clearanced for the high revving Also recieved the race rotor and main bearings.
Need to fill in the ports on a set of irons, have them lapped lightly and its assembly time. Then to the engine dyno to get dialed in.
