Firehawk's N2 racecar project

Ahh, finally managed to find a spare LSD - one of the side gears is cracked and has also worn out the planetary gears quite badly but fortunately the clutch members were still undamaged.



I also managed to get my hands on a pretty rare Carrosser (aka Cusco) speedometer gear kit which changes the speedo gears to match a 4.625 final gear. It should make the speedo reading a bit more accurate when using the 4.778 final gear.

Well, didn't quite get all the welding done but at least all the rust holes on the floorpan are now fixed. 80% of the spot welding is also done - there's a bit more work to do around the rear wheel wells. I added some new photos to the gallery;

As soon as the floorpan and frame rails are finished, I'll paint them (using a brush to get the paint in every small gap) with some gray etching primer for rust protection. Then I can turn the car back upright and start working on the visible side. There's such a thick layer of paint on the car that it's probably best to strip everything that's visible down to bare metal before repainting.
