three per post is the limit, unless the pics are hosted on another site like "photobucket".
photobucket is free and you can make the pics a lil bigger, easy to use.
big project ahead of you, all the best with it.

relatively common with hot rods - it's cheap, and gives you bigger vented discs than a old-skool Holden front end and a Ford stud pattern (I think -
so matches nine-inch rear axle) and is easy to comply/engineer
Looks like a smart and 'do-able' project, Malcolm

these are the end brackets to suport the new torsion bar 60mm higher & hold in place when welding
you can see the new mounting holes 60mm higher
end bracket bolted to the 944 torsion beam
I,l lmake a bracket to hold the gearbox horns
I found the end holes arn,t 90 degrees to the tunnel

jig to hold gearbox horns in place
because of the welding ,this should hold things in place
old torsion beam
I noticed on the inside some of the spot weld had come apart
that hold the horns together this has happened with age can cause axle hop I,ve been told .
Anyone can have the pivot points if they want I also have the irs arms and a pair of 944 torsion bars $50 for the later.

Looking good..... Is there a track difference between the torsion housings?.... I know there is when 944 bits are bolted up to the VW torsion
housing.... So I was wondering if the 944 housing was narrower.....

this looks like an impressive car in the making.
now a dumb question... an L300 front end? is this out of a L300 van or something completely different?
what are the benefits of this front end over something else out of a modern car? how good or tunable is the geometry?
thanks.
henry.

yes out of a L300 van.cost cheap .very good geometry not as heavy as holden front end .you can get brake up grade kits for it some rodders use it.I
can comply with vic road adrs ie legally run 7" wide wheels and comply with L300 front track but I will be narrowing it .I could have looked at Fiat
124 cc sports front end .May run honda NSX alloy stub axles .

cool, thanks a lot for that.
i seemed an odd choice as i wouldn't have thought it would have good geometry, but with that and all the other benefits it makes a lot of sense.
