hey dude! Damn, I heard you were having rust problems but I never pictured it looking this bad. Did you get the trailing arms from captain grumpy pants yet?
(I dropped them off at his house a while back.)

100% on the 350Z calipers...but those will have to wait a bit... I bought some 100x100x2mm steel and am going to have a go at replacing the complete chassis legs from the rear suspension pickups along under the doors and exiting through the front wheel wells...will post some more pics....It has been a toss up for a while to go ahead or just abandon the whole lot.....

Yes, abandon the whole lot and come and drop it off at blitz's place. You're more than welcome to take a solid,rust free blue fasty in exchange for all the rusty 914 bits :mrgreen:

Throw in the towel Don!

I'll swap you the 914 body for your old 718 spyder body which is still clunking around my back yard!

As long as you promise to make it a mid engine :D

I consult/work a 3 day week at RGMotorsport, we upgrade the 350z's to our own design billet caliper, so those brembos were a perk...
