Hi mate thanks alot for that comment, I would have to see your project to give more accurate advise, but I will that say for my project I kinda worked backwards, in other words make the decision where you need the pinion to get your driveshaft angle correct ie between 1 -3 degrees ( this would include height and angle of the IRS cradle) and then fabricate towards that ie: get IRS position set in space, and build to it. This could mean removing metal or adding it , in my case I had to remove part of the chassis rails and re-frabricate to allow the upper control arms full movement, and had to remove the boot floor and section of floor over the IRS, so I just had a big open space above it all. I then built the subframe between the chassis rails to accommodate the IRS in the position set. Sorry Im not so good at explaining things, I hope this makes some sense. You may see more in previous episodes showing what I mentioned here. each car is going to be its own challenge. ............. I think the main thing is if you can get the IRS set up in space in such a way that you have the 1-3% driveline / pinion angle, wheelbase required, and ride height required then fabricate. Using the chassis table i have made things much easier as I could attach the wheels and block things, position things and stand back and look/ measure and get this positioned where I felt it looks right and worked. Feel free to ask more if you want to, not sure if the answers your question well enough

@@phatridesgarage3760 I appreciate it, this helps a lot!

Take it up with ride tech. This chassis was butchered, nothing was original so I bought this kit from Ridetech , but yes I will have to make other changes if even just for the sake of engineering and passing road worthy

@@phase6xe hey mate I think I bought both the skin removal and also the skin folder from Amazon, will be back next week if I remember I will let you know the names and models

@@johncarne1055 Cheers John ! for sure mate 😉 correct on both of those)

The wheels are for fabrication only , and moving it around the workshop mate

@@phatridesgarage3760 good to here. This car is to unique and such a quality build to wear something like those. Keep. Up the good work.👍

@@Louie2309 Cheers mate !

Thanks for the comment Glenn , not sure about the notching, I havnt looked at it for a while but we will see once i continue with the build, i have seen other videos of these installed and thye seem to work fine as is

Absolutely ! Cheers mate!

Cheers mate

Already did mate 👍

Thanks alot mate 👍

Cheers mate

I agree😊

Thanks for the nice comment mate, not sure about master though lol! thinking about bronze Aston Martin color

Thanks Yui 😂

Cheers Leonard!

Nice job. I mounted my Astra power steering pump in the rear hatch in my Torana and had no issues with it. Probably drops psi a bit but works fine, and easily accessible.

agreed!

Hi mate, it is a Bendpak HD -9 Standard width/ 4082 KG Capacity

@@phatridesgarage3760 thanks.

Thanks mate I appreciate that!

Thanks Mate ! 👍

Cheers mate ! thanks for the ideas

@@phatridesgarage3760 hope it helps, you have done Magic mate

Absolutely Les

yeah i agree)

Nothing is moving on the other cars yet, hopefully soon I will get something done

Yeah one of his videos he goes to a place in sydney, Im going to look them up

ceracote

Hi Sam, Thanks alot mate

yeah would have been handy but all done now

You bet Russell, I remember from when i first bought the donor car, it sounded awesome

That's the plan Steve !

@@phatridesgarage3760 nice one, get to check all systems, re playing nice with each other, and the builder! 🙂

Not soon enough mate, bloody Visas holding it up

Thanks Jason👍

I think so too! but im also considering the balance of weight

Thanks mate 👍

Thanks Rob , really looking forwards to test driving

Dosnt seem busy enough , I dont know what you mean by Vee band?

@@phatridesgarage3760 like what turbo use, they are heaps better than slip joint's as they don't get corrosion in-between the tubes

Ah ok mate , For now its staying as it is, trying to save any extra work and money if possible. and it is stainless, so should not need to worry about corrosion

Thanks alot mate , alot more to come

Cheers mate I appreciate that !

Thanks Toddyboy thats great to hear !👍

The plan is to run a Whipple Supercharger, but first I just want to get it running and get it through Engineering and road rego

​@@phatridesgarage3760yeah I'd do the same, I'm getting a xc coupe that I'm going to fix up but I'm thinking about running the coyote engine since everyone likes to crash the mustangs, so I'm just trying to work out how much work/money is involved, reckon it'll be worth doing?

@@yeahmate6729 It all depends how far you want to go, this one is huge amount of work more than even the videos can show, even just putting the engine and box in would still require a large amount of modifications, for shock towers, and trans tunnel possibly, you could maybe also look at putting a Ford Godzilla engine in? I dont think they are as wide but still make good power

@@phatridesgarage3760 yeah that's definitely something I've considered just didn't realise they aren't as wide, I think I might have read the dimensions wrong when I first looked them up, I won't be rushing the build so I'll have plenty to decide

Yeah , welded it because its what i wanted rather than some self tapers

Thankyou Jase !

Thanks Peter, I will look into that, but I want a clean engine bay, that's why the fuse box and battery are in the boot. So I wont be putting the pump in the engine bay, but possibly it could go under the passenger guard if there will be problems with it so far back

No working on it yet mate, running a business and trying to build some cars is too much for one guy sometimes haha

Cheers Sam

The Rear is, but the front is aftermarket, its a Magnum IFS from United Speedshop

Thanks mate ! on the bulkhead idea , Yes it is, I just need to find the right application , any suggestions?

@@phatridesgarage3760 TE connectivity ,Deutsch make HDP connector - in various PIN arrangements. So HDP20 as an example. Top of line would be auto sport connector these are metallic but will hurt the wallet a lot more.

@@anthonymiller4004 Thanks alot mate I will look into that

Thanks Jimmy!

Thanks Leonard!

Cheers mate !

Thanks alot Russell!
