Cool, do you have any pics of how you used the AN hose fittings? I would like to see how you mounted them to the pan.


Yeah, here you go:

Ok, I see. Cool, thanks for the pics. Maybe I will have to rethink the way I am going to do it. I doubt that I would have a problem the way I originaly was going to do it. Hmmmm.

:dance: Just got these in the mail today. I have to give a shout out to Foxy for helpin me get these :thumbs: He has been a tremendous help with the rhd conversion.

I was also able to pick up my fenders from Jeff last night. What a great job he did on those. Thanks again Jeff :beer:
I have to check my taillight position and have to drill and fill the holes for them. Wrap up welding and grinding on the decklid, and then remove and replace the door hinge pin. After that off to the blasters!

Havent been able to get much done lately since I didnt have the pan, and its been over 105 degrees already. Took it down to get it blasted and see what I am working with. Got it back today. I have a few small pin holes here and there and two major areas of rust. I think that instead of redoing the whole pans I am going to just repair the original ones. Here are a few pics after I got it back from the blasters.

Here is the one of the biggest areas of rust, after I cut out the damage(same area as the one that is cut out in the pic above.

Nice, that should be an easy fix. Are you going to paint or powdercoat it?

Plans are to powercoat it. I just needed this thing clean so I could see what rust there was and to get it ready for the rhd conversion, hard gas line install and trans mid mount. I need to invest in a portable air conditioner so I can keep working :roll:

Messed around with the pedals and master cylinder. Have to still cut the tunnel and move the clutch tube over.

Welded up the holes for the old locations

Have to grind down the welds, move over the brake line hole and weld that up too.
