Coupe Build

Post by grewi » Tue Nov 25, 2014 7:30 pm

I may have finaly mastered the art of getting pictures onto the forum! Dont have many pics of the 4x4 conversion I have recently completed on a 1982 coupe but hopefully they are here! Relativley easy job, the only serious mods were a couple of captive nuts that didnt exist, tunnel needed cutting out and 4wd lever mount had to be shifted from the donor car. 2' lift solved the problem of the gearbox rubbing on the tunnel. It went well on the first off raod trip with the Subaclub

Toonga. I was negligent in photo records so not much to see, was there anything in particular you wish to see?
