Daniel's TruckStiva Build Thread (56k warning)

[daniel_cogar]

Hope to get the struts today ...also need to figure out how to get it back to aspire bolt pattern. Instead of Festiva

Yep I know that now, didn't before but I already had the parts.

I'm not a big fan of the TTL and trailing arm setup, always been a fan of double wishbone.

To each their own though. Looking good!

nice man! I set mine on the ground for the first time since the fall today. its a good feeling.

the way the gtx rear suspension is different from the miata is i dont have a upper control arm, so I didnt have to notch the frame at all.

Very nice!! What are your plans for the "bed"?

a new piece of sheet metal will go down, carpet, fuel cell, the top will be covered with a fiberglass bed cover with a spoiler mounted to it so it will raise up on gas shocks. a few subs and a amp or two with some flashy lights for show drool
