[5spd_xj]

yes sir, most certainly did.

[RCman]

now, to get back on topic.

Works for me...

I got the entire rear 4link tacked in place and everything is as it should be.
With the upper link mount adjustability I should be able to chose from a 115%, 91%, or 68% AS.

View from the top:

Then I was going to bend up some hoops for the coilovers, but ended up working on the hatch position instead. I wanted to ensure that was sitting in the right place so I knew that I'd have room for the hoops. I could run through the hatch with them, but why if I don't need to?

Hatch fits excellent against the repositioned roof section:

Then I mounted up a tire and got to work on the coilover position. I have yet to bend the hoops (that is the very next thing to do), but as they sit it looks like I'll be leaning 2.5degrees inward and 4degrees toward the rear.

View from the side:

Its nice to be able to see things finally start coming together from a pile of parts.

sweetness!! is the lower part of the hatch (part we cant see) pretty much vertical?

You should be able to catch just a little bit of it in the last picture.
Yup, darn near vertical.

i see the weekend treated you well too. don't you love it when stuff starts to come together? btw, holy poop 39s look huge.

there's a chance i'm going to come bother you in the weekends coming up too. perhaps easter weekend...?

It did, I would have liked to got the hoops done, but I'll settle for what I accomplished. The PitBulls are big, you should have seen my face when the pallet showed up. It's hard to really understand the size until you get them next to the XJ.

Same goes for you, call me.

Feelin any pressure for the NAC-Fest deadline yet?

Just a wee little bit! I think my biggest issue is going to be cashflow and ordering what is left to get it driving. No ordering parts on the CC, everything is cash first. Either way I will be there with or without my XJ.
Looking forward to meeting you and a bunch of other people from NAC and checking out the rides first hand of course!

 

[Justpunchit]

YES I was waiting for that pic with some wheel on her! progress looks great bill, Don't you still have to bend up a cage as well?
