I wouldn't use a cut up t3 beam to mount it as you then still have the low hanging framehead.
You could use steel u section cut fr the beam tubes and then weld the body mount tab on. Did you get a balljoint beam? As the tubes are spaced pretty much perfect for a t3

Well after an eventful few months where the fasty has had it's fair share of bad luck Day before I left for ebi someone reversed into the front of it in tesco. On the way back from ebi I bent a trackrod by hitting a giant pothole. The recovery guy snapped the key somewhere between Belgium and my hou...

jtubes are just heat exchangers without fins etc so you should be fine using your existing heat exchangers

you should be able to use the heatexchanges instead of j tubes

its not actually that low there is about another 1/2 inch of clearance in flat ground. hence the need a new drive comment
and yeah so far no problems apart from tired shocks and leaves, so can't put a lot of weight in the front at the minute

inner wing is just paint i slapped on to cover up a few baremetal patches where i had to clearance for the beam so thought i'd do the whole lot. but it was originally blue then yellow and now blue again going by thecolours where its been rubbed through. and it handles country roads fine the roads in...

not bagged yet my man it will be eventually and lower than this.
they are the adjusty thingamgigs for the seat

think i need a new drive.

i currently have the stock gearbox in my fasty and to be honest with the engine i am running the ratios are rubbish
first is as good as pointless pull away with any vigour and i need to change instantly
what irs boxes ar longer geared or are they all the same and i need to get mine rebuilt?

offset is key
you will need a very high offset to stand a chance, my 4.5s are pretty damn close although my biggest problem is the top of the wheel well at the minute

It might clear the floor just with the spindles on but then it seems rather pointless. You would be better off doing a beam swap to use the spindles and gaining about 2 to 3 inchs clearance over the of beam.
Nice idea but just doesn't solve the main problem

not overly bit of drilling bit of messing about taking it on and off
would have been easier if i had taken the wings off.
thinking of altering a split bumper eventually as a sort of oversized blade type affair

at a guess the reason for changing is to get 5spd.
can't see it fitting to be honest i would imagine you would have more sucess with a porsche or scooby box

its pulled in a lot but its also upside down as it needed less giggling and cutting that way for some reason

ok so as promised here it is with the bumper back on lets see who is the most observant and can tell whats changed http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a104/samcarver/2c218d77.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a104/samcarver/a50fc9b5.jpg i also loweed the back more and the front a touch more but mi...

surely you are then going to run straight into the problem of the beam sitting so low it hits the floor.
that is the major factor in getting a type3 low the beam just sits so low

um i have never needed to undo cv joints to lower mine, it might be easier to i guess but its possible without doing it

i shall take some pics and you can tell me or not as the case me be,
its not a massive change. but i like it

Thought i would share my progress with this. started like this all covered in grease? http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a104/samcarver/IMG_3069.jpg cleaned it up a bit and got to here http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a104/samcarver/IMG_0012.jpg lowered the back some mor and but steels on as the brm...

if he can weld you will be fine mate its not complicated.

its not overly tricky to do just a pain in the arse.
good job there

its possible on axle stands chap just a bit tricky

pm replied mate.

i have a spare pair of clamps if anyone wants them alreay pretty mashed at the botton so ideal for the mod
