The Xr-3 is closer than ever before to being drive-able! The aluminum spacer is in its final stage and will soon go on the engine properly which will allow us to place our new transmission onto our engine. We are currently working on modifying our half-shafts, we cut both the trans and cavalier half-shafts so that they can be measured and machined . The steering is close to being done, we still need to get some welds on the chain assembly and build the housing for mounting it to the center tunnel. The spacer, the half-shafts and some steering pieces which are a key grove and a shaft are all going to the machine shop today. The spacer is being cut down 1.1 inches so that the transmission and go into the flywheel. The half-shafts are going to be measured and we'll put a sleeve on it, so that its one solid piece. The brakes have also been making solid progress. We got our pedal assembly and slave cylinder.
TWO Weeks for Today 5/2/13 we plan on having a drive-able Xr-3!
For that to happen we need to get all these pieces machined, we need to get our battery for the car, get some bolts for the pedal assembly, the rear brake caliper, the front driver's seat and for our spacer. We also need to cut down our shift tube, get our brake hard-line/tee's, we need to get our rack and pinion mounts tapered to the same size as our tie-rods, weld our trans mounts, build our exhaust and place our instrument panel! If we keep our heads focused, their is no doubt in my mind that we will get this thing driving!
