Hey Zack
Great to see your back and making headway on the car. Seeing other people make progress on their cars keeps me excited to work on mine.
Where did you purchase the strut mounts from?

Another small update, the frame rail up by the rad support was pretty rotted out . Previous owner just screwed sheet metal over it so a friend of mine wielded it up for me.

Looks good, friends that weld are worth every beer you spend on them.
When mocking up my radiator fans I really wish I could easily move the cross tube forward about 4-6", this would allow room to move the radiator forward and place a larger pulling cooling fan.

Friends who can wield are a must living on the east coast ,
as for the rad I'm not sure what I'm doing for cooling yet . I have an e fan and might try using the rx7 rad . I'm in far north east in Canada and we have very mild summers so not sure if cooling will be an issue . Curious what you guys are running . Id love to use the granny rad but can't justify the money .
also more updates today . Productive day in the garage with a few helping hands
front end is officially back together, just waiting on lugs to put the wheels on then headlights/bumper are going back on .
any dents in the headlight support are straightened up
Refreshed front end , with 1 inch 110-114.3 adaptors

Another day spent in the garage , body is back together now, head lights are wired . Just to clue up a few odds and ends before i hook a battery up and make sure it all works . With the damage in the front i had some fitment issues , might try more convincing tomorrow , rad support by the drivers head light was pretty dented .
