Wow, another year slips by without a post. Not a lot going on with the car project but I have fiddled with it from time to time.
Over the past year I've purchased a differential and started trying to fit it into my narrowed Miata rear subframe. After cutting out some large chunks (new plasma cutter!) it became pretty apparent that this wasn't the best differential choice as far as mounting style. But it is what I have and I'm not turning back now! I took a few days this past week and have managed to fabricate and weld in the rear diff mount. Need to fab up the front diff mount and then it'll be time to try and fit it into the car.
To do that I'll have to empty the car first. Oh, it's still full from the move. Well add that to the "to-do" list.
Also purchased in the last while was seat tracks. The plan is to put in non Triumph seats but using the Triumph seat tracks should make it easier.
It is funny leaving the project and coming back to it. The first impression I had was WOW those doors shut great. Give it a little push and it clicks home so easy. I know it wasn't like that when I bought it. I was also impressed by how solid the repaired areas are. Yes there are areas that need a little body filler due to ripples or whatever but it's solid. So cool.
