Josh's AX Maxi build

[joshtd]

Hi guys thought id post my progress up over last few weeks since owning the car on here as AXOC is tbh not very active.












Get some welding done soon by someone hopefully and then get the bay sprayed before sourcing tu5j4 or tu5jp4

[joshtd]

Got the welding done. both sides of bay needed doing and arches are also sealed now.
Engine and Vts conversion parts all bought aswell waiting to be fitted dont think will be for a while though.

More work done saxo struts fitted on Gaz coilovers, brembo 4 pots and discs fiited roughly so shell is now rolling.





Next on the list is a refurbed back axle from IM axles and take the rough saxo vts one, over to them to exchange. Then its over to the satchell for front and rear suspension set up next (Maxi width).

I want another AX

Do you Sexy you used to own one then?

Fitted Uprated reconditioned saxo rear axle last Sunday. upgraded bearings and polybushed, also new SNR hubs.

The struggle was balancing the new one on one trolley jack and raising it without it falling off to get the first bolt in must admit there was abit of swearing and a couple of trips to screwfix for extra tools!









Excuse the dust sheets no back glass in and dont want dust all filling up in there

Another update. picked the car up from colin down at satchell engineering on saturday.
I had: Front suspension kit upgrade with bilstein inserts and 300lb springs
Rear pushrod suspension kit with gaz setup
BE gearbox mount
Satchshift
The suspension colin fitted for me was maxi spec width so an extra 150mm over standard. I have my maxi kit waiting next to be fitted to the car and ill have it fully resrayed.
