Danny, I already did that. The picture is easier to look at though.

Thanks Dave. They did get a fat chunk of change from me on this project.

Update... sorta, I still can't copy the pictures. And a friend barrowed the camera for a wedding he went to. I didn't go. Long story... I also havn't worked on the car cause it's been 105*+ every day.

I'll be kickin' it good once the weather cools down a bit. Like 40*.

Thanks Nigel, I haven't been working much on it recently. A new gf, a full shop, and the heat have kept me away. I also started school again last week. I was hoping to go for my Level 2 Welding Certificate, but there are not enough teachers for the classes. He did say that I can get more Lab time by enrolling in a class to help the teacher with the first year students. On the bright side, I'll be out this Christmas with a certificate and a degree.

I just read your whole build in one sitting, I hadn't seen it before. I think you might be in it a bit deeper than me I don't know if I could be patient enough to stretch the fenders like you're doing. What car is your subie motor from, I saw it was a single turbo and mine was originally a twin turbo. I saw your ground clearance measurements, is that at stock ride height? How much did you end up trimming off the bottom of the oil pan? It's awesome to see someone else doing big updates too

My bad Humble, I guess I was busy for a few days back in August and I missed your post.
It's a lot to read in one sitting. That just means I have a lot of work in it. I want to keep a stock beam in the front and I want to keep stock rear suspension. I tried a 2" narrow beam and I hated the turning radius. It just takes time with the fenders. I forgot how many hours I have in the front. It's quite a few I'm sure.

Your questions... Not sure what car my engine is from, I only know it's a JDM. The ground clearance measurements are at stock height in a striped car, no weight other than the engine and tranny. I think I trimmed about 2 inches off the oil pan.

I actually got on this thread to make an update.
