Re: Turbocharged 79' GTV - Track Car Build

couple pics of basic set up of the s13 diff centre in the dedion, easier than i thought to do this as the driveshafts are perfect lenght when stretched, but they need and adapter which i machine to 10mm allowing the driveshafts to sit 'relaxed'. the craddle i need to make is a bit more difficult the...

Re: Turbocharged 79' GTV - Track Car Build

Re: Turbocharged 79' GTV - Track Car Build

i need to make a descion on rear end soon, but cant decided, the dedion would keep a big part of the alfa body, but at this point that doesnt really matter anymore. the only positive i can see in keeping the dedion is having the front suspenion to match and can set up the suspension geamotrys the sa...
