i will see what the guy mapping my car says as he will have an idea how far to take them. then i will take it for a dyno run to see how it gets on. im not chasing numbers just a decent setup with the parts ive already got.

bit more progress

skirts off and absolutely full of mud and dirt! they had quite a bit of weight to them! so a good weight saving made!

first impressions of the sills looks good

but not all is well, i noticed where the arch lip folds round it wasnt 100% so i separated the 2 metal panels and had a look between them and it looked a bit orangy.

so i cut a hole to get a better look

so all this needs cut out and new metal welded in, good job i recently fixed my mig welder!

Next i realised i hadnt removed the rubber bushes and metal inserts on the diff carrier :tongue: this was a right mission to get them out. lots of blow torch action, poking, scraping wd40 for more fire powers.

and then the rubber came out but i was still left with the metal insert which just wouldnt come out. in the end i had to cut round it inside with the dremel until i got a decent part to hit with my chisel from underneath. then it came out. the first one was a ball ache but the second one wasnt as bad.

you can see where i cut it in this pic. the little cutting discs for dremels are great, im using it all the time these days.

and job done.

thats finally everything ready for the powder coaters, im also getting the bumper bar done, this had a few snapped bolts in which i had to drill out.

I also got that snapped bolt out of the end of the drive shaft which was a good job done and saved me buying another one. i just need to order the new bolt when i do my next big order at Toyota! slow progress as always but slow and steady wins the race! :lol:
