Fatz Posted December 10, 2007 Author Share Posted December 10, 2007 Hey guys. Small update. I have nearly finished! got some new rubber to bring the offset in a bit, now im running some MT Baja claws. IMO looks good. Car drives really well. Has alot more go than my gtb for some reason. Had a few issues due to my incompetence. took it for a drive without tightening the powersteering lines and trans cooler lines. VERY messy. POP. ill leave the rest to your imagination.. i have fixed that now and sall good. Rubber just rubs on front a 3/4 lock. Bit more grinder work and shell be apples. I'd like to say thanks to johhny for coming up and helping out. Couldnt have done it without you. Id also like to thank everyone else who has helped me out over the past couple of months. Here are some pics of it crawling around the street. Do enjoy Overall im very happy with how it has turned out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arctic Immigrant Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 i was in Tasmania about 6 weeks ago and we swung thruogh Burnie for a couple of days before returning to the US. I saw a white Leone with a could sounding note to it and it looked like it was riding on 31s thats why I presumed it was you when I saw it. Who knows eh?

Fatz Posted March 29, 2008 Author Share Posted March 29, 2008 Ok here is another small update. Still have a little to do. I fitted some flares a month or so ago. I used conveyor belt and some 2mm steel. I welded the steel to the body and then bolted the rubber to the steel. Still have to mount scoop and do some reinforcements of the castor lift. I also got a straight through exhaust fitted, but I'm not happy with the location so im going to get it re routed sometime soon. Note: I'm not going to keep the current breathing setup, going to go to a dual snorkel setup. Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torxxx Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 wow dude! you are my hero. I've always thought about doing this, but since its so hard to get a front clip of a TT EJ engine, I've never gone through with it. Please let us know how it goes in the mud and offroad. Looks like its going to be a blast to drive! Great work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phizinza Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 May I suggest you cut the flair ends on an angle, like round them off, or even something like a straight 60degree angle? Looks huge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
