Beefed up the jack shaft mounts. Also a shot from underneath
The V8 Hijet looks big in comparison
The HayaSubi is sitting a little low in the rear. Just got some new stock replacement Miata front shocks and a pair of new Moog Escort Wagon rear springs. A fb V8 Miata page had some information on affordable ways of dealing with the extra weight of a V8.
I seem to recall that the early crx si had an outward opening sunroof. I need to have a glass panel roof of some sort in the van so that I can see traffic lights! As most of the sheet metal on the front half of the van roof is garbage, ideally, I would like to take a trip to the Pick a Part armed with a cordless sazall and cut out a roof clip to graft into the van. Can anyone think of another vehicle with either a (fairly narrow) fixed glass panel roof or outward opening glass roof?
Thanks

if you're talking EF CRX it was a metal panel that did open outward. I think some 90s-00s GM cars had outward opening glass ones.

Thanks for the information!
My 88 Toyota pickup had a fold out glass moon-roof.

Great, thank you!
The new (stock) shocks are in the the Escort springs were a perfect fit!
Parked next to the Xb your 360 looks like one of those department store kiddy rides that rocked back & forth for a couple minutes.

I forget how small it is until I park it next to a "normal" car. I checked, it is smaller in length, width and height than a classic mini!

Somewhat serious question: is there a hole in the roof to stick your head through when you drive it, or are you nearly laying down inside?

It is actually quite roomy! I can stretch my legs out completely and with the seat in a normal upright position, I have a good 3" of head room!

Wow! It sure doesn't look like that would be possible. Do you think you'll bring it to CTC any time? I'd love to see it in person.

Not sure I can get it together that quickly, but going to try!
Started on the new rear wheelwells. Good progress on one so far.
New rear wheel openings are nearly done as is the hand formed new headlight bucket and front "fender"/nose section!
Amazing work as always!
