Update 12/12/12

Well good thing the world didn't end today. Kids wouldn't have gotten to enjoy seeing their Christmas Present. lol Well got all of the links in, front and rear trac bar / panhards and shocks. Fronts were just for mockup. Had them on the shelve. Have to go with 10" Travel 2.0's. We thought it was going to limit the flex but it didn't at all. So next we will finish up all the welds, hook up the Hydro links and send it off to my buddies house for wiring, brakes, drive lines, and plumbing. We could do everything here, but I have to get my diesel Ranger going and finish Mamma's '74 Cummins Powered F550 Sled.

Not for awhile. It's over at my buddies house getting all of the wiring and plumbing done over the next 2 months. He hasn't even had much time to touch it due to us getting our rigs ready for the Winter Fun Festival this weekend.

Far right.

My buddie that used to be my main mechanic moved to Florida with his boys, and they grabbed it off a yacht that someone rolled and left out all night 2 years back at the RYC.

Update 12/8/13

Finally getting some help and time to try and finish her up by the end of winter. The buddy that I had cut out all of the wiring has been coming over and help get things in running order. So not much to show yet but I made a new front bracket for the shifters and had him run the shifters for the Stak behind where the driver seat will be. And running the trans and oil coolers. Not really anywhere else to put it and they don't need to be doing any of the transfer case shifting anyways.

Update 10/7/14

Well better late than never. So gotta get this thing done for the kids. Long story short me and the guy I had doing the wiring split ways. I tried calling a Miata Guru shop but they turned me down. Well I'll just have to figure it out myself. Ordered up the from 2.0 Fox Shocks and threw them in tonight. From here I'll start doing the plumbing for the rear radiator, steering, and brakes. Then get the fuel tank and delivery set up. Going to use the stock stuff as to not create a tone of tuning issues and hopefully just be able to start it right up once everything is plugged back in, primed, and turned over. Lots of little things here and there but for the most part should flow well.

Joking around jacked up. Lol


Ride Height





Shocks Clearance Coilovers are going to be tight up front. Mainly on the driver side planetary.

Update 12/19/14

Okay I've gotta finish this thing before my kids move out. lol. We are slowly but surely starting to get back on it. Scored a 4500 lb winch for just $150 on Craigslist a couple months back. Threw that in and scored a PS and AC pump at Oakland pick-n-pull Saturday. Driver side was messed up pretty good when I got it at action and those assemblies were hammered. Going to mount the PS pump where the AC was. Here is a pic of the sweet little winch.

 

[savage]

bump, What has happen with this project, has it ever been finish or is it on hold?

 

[broncokak]

Pretty cool. Would be a fun rig for sure.

Update 5/29/16

Well finally getting some time to finish up all the plumbing and find a Miata Tech to flash the ECM for me to get this thing going. Anyone that has any suggestions of someone that I can take it to and can handle the flashing and making sure that I have everything plugged in that needs to for it to run right please let me know. I'm sending an email to Open Flash Performance right now to see if they are willing to take the job, but like I said any other suggestions are welcome.

Pulley accessories all done. @ upper right is the PS delete. Used and modified a 4.6 PS delete.


Installed a PSC Power Steering pump for the Full Hydro PSC Steering Ram.


OE Cluster and Radio installed.


Winch Controller mounted over Radio.


Moved the OE shifter forward a couple inches to mount the Trail Worthy Fab Hero/Stak Transfer case shifters just behind on the tunnel.


Main starter battery is an Odyssey relocated to just behind the passenger compartment.


Oil Cooler Pump and plumbing comes up behind the driver's compartment.

UPDATE 5/29/16 Cont.

Fuel Cell will use the OE sending unit and be located just above in the triangulated area behind the cab. This will be roughly 15 Gallons of fuel.






And the finished Triumph radiator fabricated for all AN fittings.
