CoxyLaad 0 Posted November 13, 2004 Ben - did you use those brackets when you mounted the rear axle to your sills at the front? I looked on your picture but unfortunately the 4 post lift is right in the way blocking my view.....typical.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I looked on your picture but unfortunately the 4 post lift is right in the way blocking my view.....typical.... I just used the normal rallye brackets, everything at the rear is factory apart from the exhaust although fuel tank is about 2cm out, but this is not an issue. I'll try and find a pic...

I should post some progress pics of mine soon. Its almost drivable, only running on 2 cyl at the moment but I think I know what the problem is, however I'm doing the interior at the moment so engine will have to wait. Let me know how your haldex 4wd conversion goes as I might be interested, make that very interested in following suit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
