Getting closer mate. Making good progress despite personal life and the new addition. Interesting to see that you didn’t actually have to cut that much of the floor pan away to mount the transfer box. I was expecting a huge hole in the floor!
@ that’s going nowhere. Looks tidy and factory too with that adapter plate. Be interesting to see what you do with the exhaust without sacrificing ground clearance too much. Look forward to the next one!
Nice project mate 😊 I would say though that the rear diff mount should sit down upon something inside of being upside, as you have it now. Just cos you're relying on the threads of those two bolts to take all the stress instead of a lower brace that takes the strain and the bolts are just a method to locate the mount. Just a thought 😉
You don’t need to fill the box with Power steering fluid, just cut the inlet port off flush and fill the hole with chemical metal. That’s all I did with my Locked boxes. Hopefully it’s a locked box with adapter rings rather than just stuffing a couple more clutch plates in there to lock it up.
@ cavalier or Calibra turbos were all I worked on for long time. Hopefully your going to pull the T-box apart and check it through. They are fairly sturdy if set up right and paired with a Quaife ATB to take the strain off of the T-Box the better.
Nice work. I definitely agree getting it on a rollover jig, nothing worse than welding upside down.

Thank you. Yeah so was I to be honest, so I was pleasantly surprised 🙂
Excellent work Dan, it's progressing really nicely. Love the workaround with the gearbox mount!
Thanks, glad you like it. I was worried about strength to start with, but not now it's done, and especially not once I box it all in.

Thank you, I plan to make some sort of lower brace, that way if it did ever fail it would just drop on that. But it should be fine. Thanks
