My sle has coilovers angled like that...tbh I hate it would rather that be tucked closer to diff the small scallop in cross brace in floor....car will be getting new diff with trutrac,coilovers the whole lot later on this year.

You having coilovers go through boot floor with cross brace between wheel tubs or keeping it all below floor?

I ended up ordering the Showtimes Customs Coilover hanger, apparently it sits a lot closer to the diff so should solve my problem

Talking with fabrication bloke told him I'd rather have it all under the floor he prefers coilovers through floor to crossbar...longer shocks more travel & keep setup how it already is grrr

I hear ya, don't want to cut holes in the floor for a "street car"

So been getting a bit done,

Got the diff back from the diff builder, had to redo my brackets.

All tacked together, just need to add the panhard rod

Welded up the coilover carrier and tacked it between the frame rails, stoked that the welds have held so far...

Looks good!!!!

Are the willwood rears able to take flexible hose or suppose to be plumbed up with hardline up to calipers?

Seen heaps of fabbed 9 inch setups with willwoods all hardline which would be a pain to bleed brakes if need to work on diff/axles etc

Haven't thought that far haha, probably going flexible lines and remake the hard line from the bay. I've got the original one so I'll just copy the bends on a new one.

Also, sneak peak on the paint

Jambs and Bay are getting painted today! Will get some better photos later

Nah that's staying raptor black

Got the doors and guards on last night, only had one oopsie putting the rear passenger door on so will need to touch it up.

Pretty rad to think one of these was on the production line for a day or so. Restoring one is so much more. You can bet it’s restored to better condition and workmanship than when it was new.
