390se chassis onto my 350i FHC 2+2
Discussion
Last weekend I finally managed to pick up the 390se chassis that I bought before cristmass!
Work and family have taken all my time recently and the Taimar and FHCs have suffered as a result.
Now Ive got a bit of spare time, I will be taking a few measurements on the chassis and changing the FHC trailing arm chassis for the later 390se 'A' frame chassis and putting in the LSD that I also bought.
The new drive shafts need a refurb, but they are the large ones and I think itll be worth it in the long term, especially when the engine that Im after becomes available (again) and the LSD will also be taking its place at the back end.
IM planning on getting the chassis re powdercoated in a nice matching light blue, (after the mounting plates have been renewed) with the addition of a silvery fleck into the mix to make it stand out a bit, then itll be a simple case of putting it all back together!!
Finally, and only because Ive got it here all complete, Ill be looking into fitting POWER STEERING (sorry Dix).
I know its for girls, but it came off of a working car and I reckon that I can use the AC drive for it as this has never been connected (since I owned the car).
All I need then is a nice cheap Sprintex unit to go onto it and Ill be happy!
On another plus note, the chassis for the Taimar should be back just before easter, so Ive got loads to do in the garage over the next month, lucky Ive got plenty of holiday owing to me!
