What, Jims car isnt on the road yet?
If you can find me the spare time and make all the parts magically appear, I'll finish it just for you.

I'm sure he would love nothing more then to know how this rear end handles
The suspension hasn't changed, and the weight is basically the same, so handling should not be affected at all.

I'm going to be putting together a group buy once I get approval. Pricing will be as follows:



1-4 - $550 ea. + shipping

5-9 - $500 ea. + shipping

10+ - $450 ea. + shipping



I've got 3 or 4 people interested already, so it shouldn't be too hard to get to 5 or more. That's for mild steel, by the way. Chromemoly was too hard to bend for the front bar without crushing, so at most, I might be able to offer a hybrid with a mild steel front bar and the rest in chromemoly steel, but I don't have pricing yet.

It seems like thats a ton of work to just put a cobea rear end in. And since you loose the PPF how much of a problem will that be? Your goin to need one hell of a strong trany brace.

How about you go **** yourself. There is plenty of info here, if you do a little research you can find the answer to just about anything you want to know.



Ask stupid questions you get stupid answers.
