why not remover the e-brake completely, then just cut them. nut if not take the drum off and youll figure it out. i think there is 4 little tabs youll have to push in

Nice 5.0 · September 1st, 2009, 01:50 AM

You'll have to disassemble the rear brakes to get the e-brake cable disconnected if you plan on reusing the e-brake with the new rear end.

fs308 · September 2nd, 2009, 06:19 AM

My brother and I got some more down tonight. i got to really think him for all the help and jon for letting me use his garage

i got some more bad news tonight. apparently when i was living at my moms and the car was sitting in the grass it started to take its toll. we also found some rusting starting in the drivers side quarter panel

TheBrat · September 2nd, 2009, 02:29 PM

Hurts to find stuff like that, I know my car has been ripped apart and im slowly putting it back together. And when you do a project like this, you seem to find stuff you wish you never did. Somtimes making you wish you never got that far into it.

On the other hand, if you feel like backing out of the project, ill take all those pretty parts off your hands and put them in my car

If you dont, well good job! Ill post a picture of where my car stands and where I have found rust (not tryin to hijack thread of course)

TheBrat · September 2nd, 2009, 02:39 PM

The little yellow circles are where I have rust, I have it on both sides to in the same spots

fs308 · September 5th, 2009, 09:32 PM

more cancer

Then i prepared some for my next outing over there

fs308 · September 7th, 2009, 04:56 AM

my brother and I got some more work done. we also borrowed my buddies rims

we were trying to get an idea of how low it is so we propped the front end on

notice the wheel gap? it dont even have a motor in it yet

flattusmaximus78 · September 7th, 2009, 12:06 PM

My car without the motor was still less then stock ride height of a fox. My car is slammed. I doubt you will have rubbing issues if thats your concern.

fs308 · September 7th, 2009, 04:58 PM

no i am not worried about rubbing. i will still have the height adjustment of the coilovers. i was just trying to get an idea if it was lower or not bc of the drop spindles

fs308 · September 10th, 2009, 03:02 PM

the front end is pretty much done with mock up except for putting the brake pads in and the other bumpsteer/ tire rod arm on.

8.8 with disc brakes. the disc brakes are of no use to me nor are the axles so i will probably try and sell them

another look with the new rims. i also took some time and lowered the jack stands to get an idea of what it would look like

full car shot with the 17in 00-02gt rims

grnstang · September 10th, 2009, 03:27 PM

sweet man keep up the good work

fs308 · September 10th, 2009, 03:38 PM

i picked up an 8.8 i have to get it cleaned up and then have to take it to bivins race cars to get that 9in ends put on axle tubes welded up and then assembled.

after that the car will be a roller again. i will put the team z rear suspension under and then take it back to bivins to have the through the floor subframe connectors, weld up the torque boxes a chromoly trans mount and a little front end tweaking

grnstang · September 10th, 2009, 04:58 PM

what engine are you putting in it?

fs308 · September 11th, 2009, 12:07 PM

a 308

EscortSportage · September 12th, 2009, 04:04 PM

fs308 · September 12th, 2009, 04:37 PM

thanks going to do some more work tomorrow. power washing the rear end and then hitting it with the wire wheel to get some of the rust off it. then power washing the bottom of the car.

also plan on getting the rear suspension in the car

fs308 · September 20th, 2009, 03:29 AM

9in ends
welded axle tubes
strange rear end cover
strange rear end pinion
4.10 gears
strange 33spline spool
moser 33spline axles

baine21225 · September 20th, 2009, 10:52 AM
