Nice dude! Keep up the good work. :bigok:
I got a really fun idea for an AWD project that I hope I can get going within 2 years. I've never seen it done, so I'm keeping it top secret.

Not bad for a rattle-can engine bay? Flippin' Krylon.
I'm getting the rear wheel wells out of a '91 Talon and saying eff to tha dizzle. I'm replacing the rear wheel wells with Talon wells to solve a bunch'a suspension geometry problems. I have to fix the fact that the rear springs are rubbing the tires and that seems like the most orly yarly way to do it. I won't even need those goofy-ass spacers I made. It's just a few dozen pinch welds. When I'm done welding them in, there's going to be a 3/16" bead all the way around the bitches.
A little Krylon and nobody will ever notice.
Next up is front and rear engine roll-stopper mounts. I've got everything cut for it already. Just need to weld it in there.

If it's good enough for a DART block, it's good enough for a 4g63.

Hey guys, just thought I'd wake a thread from the dead. I never said I'd be able to bolt this thing together overnight. If I didn't have to rebuild 2 other cars along the way, I might have more done on this but... here's the progress.
I hated the way the 1G AWD suspension lined up with the perches on the body, and I had tire clearance issues to work out because they were touching the springs. Only natural I'd hate that. This is what I did.
Warning: Both videos are around 27 minutes combined. They cover a span of nearly 60 hours, and if you have the resolution, bandwidth and processor for it... it's in 1080HD from my page. I know you guys like that fast-motiony stuff. Get ready. :bandito:
