Holy shit this old Samurai is getting some rotten . I'm starting to patch the patches but I've always said nothing is to far gone that it cant be rebuilt . Now it won't be contours but it will be strong . This floor support/body mount was almost completely gone as was the floor made a new floor pan floor pan welded in and support finished also started to widen the transmission tunnel to make room for the chev 4 speed . finished the right side today , will take more pics tomorrow and get the drivers side started .

Well folks , it's been awhile. I was away for a number of months and couldn't wait to get back in the barn . I'm not going to bore you with a bunch of pics of me doing body and floor work . Just so you know the only things left from the firewall to the rear bumper will be the transmission hump ( which will be highly modified ) a bit of back seat floor and the rear wheel wells . The metal work will be done in a few days and I'll get started on setting the drivetrain in place . In the mean time I saw this on TMRs website . Thought it was funny looks familiar

Sooo , been at this for way too long . all new in the back end decided to move the body back 4 inches to re center the rear wheel opening over the tire after the rear stretch and to make more room for the rad . in the middle it was just a matter of drilling new holes for the body mounts but at the front I had to cut the body mounts off and make new ones and move them back . started with 3x3 got the drive train together and started a test fit . oil pan bottom of the transmission , an SM465 . big bastard the dana 300 the whole thing is tucked up nice and high , higher then the Samurai stuff was . here's how . hacked to hell the shifter for the tranny is up under the dash , I already cut the bottom out of the heater box . Think I'll have to take it out altogether going to make one of these for the shifter hope to end up with something like this tomorrow I'll start the motor mounts and the cross member for the Trans . All for now .

Thanks Clarence , while I,m here , how do I get to another page ? Page 8 is getting way to long . each page is determined by the number of posts on it, so you need more posts with fewer images to spread it out. Useless posts like this one will help your cause though!
