thanks for the info on the frontend regarding A arms

you wont be able to use much off the Tina, they have solid rear axles not independant suspension like the sierra.

your best alternative is an e30/e36 BMW as there are a few people building already.

Sierras are getting expensive here, it can be cheaper to get a BMW newer and in better condition

question??? im in the mood to make some parts for my car, but wont be the chassis,as im short on garage space ( too many toys ).
So im looking at starting the front and rear arms, front chassis frame and anything else i can make
Its been a long time waiting to get this project up and running ( 8months)
so im sure ill be asking heaps of question
1st is ... is it safe to build the arms without the chassis made, what order do most people build their cars

Yes, the wishbones can be done before the chassis. As long as your jig is accurate then you should be fine. Make sure the rears are to the revised length.

Front frame needs to be done on a jig and can also be done before the chassis.

Hi, the wishbones in nz have to be Tig welded and crack tested, lower arms made from min 25mm Dia and upper ones min Dia 22mm. Cheers Brendan
