/6 conversion- installed some Pelican parts

As some of you know I'm doing a /6 conversion to a 75 chassis. For the past year I've been concentrating on chassis stiffening and getting the underside of the car cleaned up and painted. Well yesterday I started installing parts what a great feeling I have converted to 5 lug on all four corners and yesterday I installed the following:
rear 911 brake rotors and calipers M style
front 911 Boge struts,rotors and M calipers
19mm thru body front sway bar
front A arms with Elephant Racing polybronze bushings
rear Elephant Racing polybronze bushings and Koni shocks with 140lb. springs
To say the least I was busy I even installed Fuchs front and rear to see how they look with the GT metal flares and she looks good. Sorry no pics as I type this as I'm getting ready to take the wife out for breakfast I'll try to post pics later. It feels sooooooo good to start putting parts back on. Happy mothersday

Looks good! Are you going to carb it or keep the FI?....hopefully your pics will kick me in the butt to begin mine. I've got all the parts already..I just need to yank out that 1.8l 4 banger and start assembling!

I've got Weber 40's ready to go just need to buy all the proper jetting for the 3.0. The carbs came off a 2.2 litre but I rode in the car before they were pulled and it ran great. Next up for me is pulling all the hard brake lines and installing new. At the same time a 19mm master cylinder is going in. That will pretty much wrap up the underside of the car. Then I can move on to everything above the rockers I still have a long journey to be complete but each day a little closer. I'm hoping to hear it run by December................................we'll see.

Either that, or some of the collars that go around the tensioner.
