Our F85 Power Tour Project

[PhillipM]

So I finally was able to download the rest of the photos that I have so far. We currently are sitting with the exhaust, rear seat and trunk floor still needing to be addressed. Along with that I need to get some shocks ordered and also a new driveshaft coming.. So much to do still! Yikes.


Cutting off the old bag mounts..


Forgot that we left the original ones under the new ones... twice the cutoff work.. bummer..


Here are the new bags on the right.. you can already tell how much shorter they are. Slam Specialties RE 6's



Marking out for the notch.


Deciding that the rest of the tunnel has to go.




After calling Metco hoping that they would build us some longer adjusting shafts for our upper control arms, and getting shot down, we decided to build our own with parts sourced from my favorite online store... McMaster Carr!




Here is my buddy working on the upper shafts..


The new tunnel back in it.


The notch and fish plates welded in and cleaned up ready for some paint.



That pretty much brings us to where the project is today. I have a lot more finish work to do yet but I will be chiping away at it. I can't say enough how much bigger of a project this has been then I ever imagined.
