Hi Gaz, I have the 4 link for the sedan now and I'm not sure if I need to do a cradle to mount the coilovers.
What did you do ?
Any photo or info a great help.
Cheers,
Roger

When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Thanks Gaz
I think I will do a cross over bar and reinforce it to the chassis rail.
I have a look a Gary Q's Black Beast build as well so I'm a lot more formable in moving forward now.
Cheers,
Roger

Looks good Gaz. I suppose the front will drop a little with the addition of sheet metal etc. I like your engine mount setup.

Great work done there Gary,

I love the boxed and lip delete on the subframe, that gives you at least another 10mm clearance for exhaust and leaves a nice smooth look.

I know you told me but who made your front end ?

Thanks, I can’t take credit for the subframe work, it was cut out and replaced with 3mm plate. Work was done by a mate at Streetrod & Customs.
Same bloke built Jeremy’s grey EK Sedan with the Black roof and Tim’s red sedan (both at the Nats)

He fitted the 4-link for me so I got him to do the subframe while it was in there

Cheers Clay, it’s a Rodtech front end, very tidy bit of gear.
