Coastr Posted 13January, 2018 Report Share Posted 13January, 2018 * installs whirlybirds because shed too hot * works in hoodie ....did the whirlybirds actually make a difference? yes I know the hoodie is for welding MFX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFX Posted 14January, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 14January, 2018 Haha. Yep it is a bit of a contradiction, but I have given my arms welder burn so many times, it is better to sweat it out As for the whirly birds. Wow! What a difference. It has completely changed working in the garage. I will probably have to work out some sort of covers to block them off in the winter though.

Doubt they'd be UV rated though. Or make a cover to place over the vent on the inside for winter, or get a better heater ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could make up a proper cover, or if I get lazy I may just tape some cardboard over them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFX Posted 19January, 2018 Author Report Share Posted 19January, 2018 This week I finally finish the roll cage. I also start aligning all of the panels on the Z getting it ready for paint. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rs8r-OfKO7c&feature=youtu.be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 19January, 2018 Report Share Posted 19January, 2018 Reckon if you delete the rear bumper (I prefer that look personally) maybe consider not fitting the front air dam under the front bumper, and using either the stock valance or similar to round it off a bit. It would look a bit more asymmtrical in my opinion. Is it illegal in NSW to not have a bumper fitted? Think it is here in SA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZ930 Posted 19January, 2018 Report Share Posted 19January, 2018 Either use both bumpers or no bumpers but not just one bumper. You could "Chip Foose" the bumpers for a tighter, more streamlined fit.

I have had heaps of replies on YT and it is about 50/50 keep/lose. I think I will keep it, but I will probaby do something like you say, weld it as one piece and make it sit nice and tight and smooth.

clutch-monkey Posted 20January, 2018 Report Share Posted 20January, 2018 i deleted the rear bumper and currently have no front bumper, but i think needs the slimline otomoto CF front bumper not the stock one with over riders like this MFX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine should look a lot like that when I am finished as I am going to paint mine. I do like the look of no bumper, but I think I will add it back, just keep it simple and tight to the body.

OZ930 Posted 3February, 2018 Report Share Posted 3February, 2018 I was a bit worried when you used the jack on the cross member without any support underneath but it worked so good on you. MFX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely should have supported it from underneath, but I knew the lower support was many times stronger than the front wings. ...And I didn't even think to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
