Basshead_Stewie Posted April 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 I ended up buying a 240sx roller. I stripped the steering and suspension and i am going to swap it all to the 521. Here are some pics of the front crossmember fitted and some mounts please forgive my shatty welds. I have a cheap welder and little experience with it. 1 Quote Link to comment

Basshead_Stewie Posted April 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Crossmember mounts are made out of 3x3 angle iron 1/4 inch thick with gusseted ends. This is the second set I made the first set was 2x3 and 1/8 inch thick. They probably would have been strong enough but anything worth doing is worth overdoing so I decided to go with 1/4. They are fully welded edges to the frame and with three large spot welds just to ensure that they don't move and or break. 240SX crossmember and right-hand-drive s13 rack and pinion everything is trimmed to fit and level. Only thing left to do now is drill for holes into the mounts and Bolt the crossing over in. Next thing on the to-do list is the 240SX rear end mounts for the irs subframe and strut Towers. 2 Quote Link to comment

Basshead_Stewie Posted June 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Bolted crossmember, boxed the crossmember ends that had to be cut, and picked up a cd009 trans for the rb. Next on the list is finding the motor and trans location and starting the 240sx irs setup. 1 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Looking good! Just wondering what are you going to do for the center cab mounts. 1 Quote Link to comment
Basshead_Stewie Posted June 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 Looking good! Just wondering what are you going to do for the center cab mounts. I should be able to keep the stock cab mounts. I will be makeing a full framed floor with square stock and roll tubing cover in sheet steel. With that and the addition of a full roll cage i imagine it will all be extremely rigid and safe. 1 Quote Link to comment
