Default Not Subaru: Locost Update!

Not a Subaru but I think you might enjoy

Well day started with me putting the steering rack in the right place! Basicall involved moving it down the bracket a bit. You can see in this that the steering arm is now fairly in line with the bottom wishbone.



Then after lunch.... the engine!

Started by preparing the engine hoist! My dad made it out of a few pieces of 2x2, some skirting board and a random piece of angle iron, but it seems plenty strong enough!



Next, wheeled the engine into place and started to lift. I thought that having had the sump off for over a year there wouldnt be any oil left in it! So, bolted the sump back on and lifted it up..... and a massive pool of oil appeared! Visible in this picture!



Up up up and lots of newspaper!



Up up up and the car wheeled underneath.







Down down down and into the bay!



And roughly into position (will be a bit further to the o/s)





And some other random pictures I took ;D











Enjoy!

Adam

There's some planning gone into that Adam !
The chassis must have taken a few hours to perfect

I cheated, I bought the chassis part built (off the guy who owns Pace Products). Still.... it took a year to design and build the rear suspension!
