The Project Pad

Hey Jim,
I'm thinking of putting in 01e trans from my Urs4 into my 90q. How did you work the linkage rods? I would love to see some close up pictures of your setup. Thanks

Project is looking good!


Good luck with the horse, hope everything works out for the better.

Jim, that's a bummer with the wife's horse. Are you still going to be in the wife and horse support mode tomorrow?

Check out my gallery, there are a ton of pics in the 01E section. Bottom line keep the linkage parallel and perpendicular when in neutral.

I swore you had just finished, painted and all back together. Digging into it again?

This is where a 100k 5-axis comes into its own. Perfect mold ready after a gel coat to make parts.

Nope, not quite finished, the front bumper is very close to finished, just some cleaning up to do. The rear is up next, hopefully I can have the mounts sorted by the end of tomorrow. Then on to more fiberglass.

Very impressive! Looks great.

Yeah, so I'll be dropping my car off at your house over Christmas for you to get this done on my car by New Years. Thanks

Looking freakin awesome Jim!!!

Slowly chipping away at this, the rear bumpers have a rough form to them, now just some sanding and filler. The Fiberglass extends behind the bumper about the same amount as visible in the picture. No idea how this is going to work long term. I plan to make a valley between the fiberglass and the bumper plastic, and fill it with Evercoat flexible bumper filler. I am hoping this buffers some of the expansion of the dissimilar materials. If it cracks, I'll just cover it with tiny bits of race rubber

ROFLAO that's great

looks nice Jim

my goodness.

my Guinness.

your 90.

Shaved fogs or unshaved? Or should I take a picture of the fogs and have it printed on vinyl and make a simulated fog?

I like my bumper without the lights.

I vote for unshaved. Darins car looks great in black with the solid bumper,it just doesnt look right on on yellow...seems like its missing something to me.

i vote shaved fully.



but that may just be because i did it last month, lol

:stupid:

I think I like the black there.

Since you've got the fiberglass out you should do brake duct vents...

Lol, that looks slick, nice drop too. Maybe I will airbrush those on, I still have full rebar behind the front bumper that fills the fog location.

brake ducts!! Cut that bar 8)
