Well basically all the little jobs have been done now,
like welding the exhaust manifold, fitting the pedals, diff, radiator fabrication, sorting the brakes and sizes, wleding small welds that werent 100% from factory!
heres some pics of new parts!

Stack Dash Unit:



Pace Radiator:




Wilwood Pedal Box:



ZF adjustable slip diff:



Wilwood Front Calipers:




Basically everything now needs stripping as all the welding has been done, the chassis gets powder coated

and then come back and gets panelled up and fully rebuilt

Fuel and header tank swirl pots are next to be sorted along with mating a cavalier wheel boss to a seirra column!

The long hard thinking stages have been done now, its a case of hands on action from now on, wiring and panelling will take the longest!

Im hoping that we can get id finished before may this year! That includes the SVA etc

Holy fecksh*t Mr. F!

Have you kept this a little quiet Brad, or have I been living under a rock?

I had no idea that you were doing this.

Daxs are so cool.

Also, loving the Pace and the Stack

I realy want a Stack dash so so badly.

I also need a Pace rad to go with my other Pace kit.

Trouble is they're nearly 400 quid just for the bare rad.

Sure is

I think Brad must be 'independantly wealthy'
