Ido, outstanding job so far, you three are doing great. Build looks strong, only suggestion is weld the leading edges of your frame horns and If at all possible run a brace from the horns to another frame piece to keep the tranny and engine from wagging .Thanks for showing this build to us, you have any questions just let us know, we would be proud to have a long range hand in this build. What engine are you going to be using as you might have to shorten the tranny shaft.

Leatherneck, our plan is to weld pipes that come down from the cage and to weld them to the frame horns, to make the frame horns stronger.
and on the top of the trany there is two holes, i'm thinking about using a plate and drill a holes that fitt to the top of the trany holes, and weld two tabs to cage to bolt on this plate and to make all of the rear chassis stronger.
we already bought a engine, nice one.
I'll transfer the pictures from the other computer and post it.

the wiring will be treated by the same one who takes this engine off from the impareza WRX and convert it to STI with all the STI wiring.
he know about every wire assignment in this wiring.
