Galante's 8g Build

[Galante]

I started cutting the crash bar yesterday night.. I'm done cutting both side 45 degr's.. Unfortunately my camera was broken.. But will buy one later..I'll post some pics of it..

did u have to cut the edge of the radiator on the passenger side ??? did the headlight hit the condenser bracket ???

[Galante]

Yes, it has to be cut too so the headlight will fit. It hit the condenser bracket (I trimmed the condenser bracket a bit w/ dremel tool) that's why you have to remove the bolt that holds it and replace it with a longer one, put a hole on the headlight tab so you can secure it on there. It will push in when you tighten it..

i trimmed the bracket with the dremel and still no luck i will figure something out hopefully, if it didnt rain tonight i would have my front and rear done

[Galante]

Btw, I also trimmed the side of the headlight plastic a bit that have contact to the condenser bracket..

[Dominicano]

if you remove the two bolts holding the condensor it will give you the wiggle room you need. you can get longer bolts or remove them all together the condensor weights next to nothing.

Different version but same idea..

Today I bought a new Canon camera to replace the broken sony one.. I have taken some pics of my progress.. Too bad I was not able to take pics during the process..

Some part came..



Converted the drum to disc brake.. Only one side for now though I need to order a flex hose for the other side..it was cut during shipment..



Installed front bumper today.. only top view pic for now.. no space to take front view..


More pic soon..

Thanks guys..

I test fitted the skirts today.. (not final yet)


A little gap in front.. Need to trim the bottom of the skirt more so I can push it in.. Thanks to Ray on showing me how to do this..


Installed the wheels to test how it looks w/ the disc on rear..

[QnzMostWanted]

push the back rear of the skirt in more, its supposed to sit flush, not flare out

In the middle rear of the skirt which flareout is the spot it was folded upon shipment.. It should sit flush when I install screws on the bottom after painting.. thanks
