Has anyone here had their car mini tubbed or boxed of to the chassis rail?
and if so, where was it done and what is the approx $$$ spent.....were coil overs installed or is the original sping / shock still being used...
thanks
yeah tried them both....big $$$$$ and that was not including the rear seats being redone to fit.....
didnt think i would need an engineers if i was only boxing off to the chassis though....thats what mcdonald bros told me anyway....
i have owned a minitubbed HQ Coupe and just bought a full tubbed HT monaro.. i could have got the HQ engineered and registered but the HT wont be able to be rego'd.. HT has coil overs at the moment but its getting bagged soon.
to get it done, you are looking at big bucks, there is a cheaper alternative, by cutting the wheel arch and moving it across (towards middle of the car), then welding a strip in.. i have seen it done on a few cars and works really well, you can even make it look factory.. your better off going to see a workshop and getting prices from them
on a vl there is a bit of work involved.
you will need to run coil overs.
you will also need to remount the pan hard rod.
its a lot of work and really isnt needed unless you wanna be launching off the line with lots and lots of torque
