Been a long long time, life got busy, back on track! Lancer has been bubbling along and is very near complete.
Always a few headaches ... telling none of you anything you didn't already know
Here are a few pictures of progress, cannot wait to give it some.

Engine Internals

Thanks for the feedback, yeah we are pretty happy how it is turning out, but unfortunately it does take time. THE ITB's had to come from the UK, only place we could find what we wanted sizing wise as there isn't a lot of space between manifold and strut tower to fit ITB's and air filter and make sur...

Ok, been awhile but have been busy with lots of little things...like the engine..... https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=601125633243446&set=pb.100000380455381.-2207520000.1375914725.&type=3&src=https%3A%2F%2Ffbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net%2Fhphotos-ak-ash3%2F581732_601125633243446_2...

Thanks for comments, much appreciated. Rear Suspension - at moment it has leaf springs from a Galant Wagon - wider and thicker to help stop them winding up & twisting. It currently has Bilstein shockies but these are only there for the build. previously ran Konis but broke them pretty easily. we...

Thanks Andrew, as said before it has been a long love affair. Whilst it is not the fastest car I have had, it is certainly the most fun to drive. With its short wheel base and ample & useable power it is possible to steer by the throttle and rear wheels on all surfaces. I have been around motors...

Re: 1974 LA Lancer Classic Rally Build Unread postby 75wagon » Tue Apr 02, 2013 5:53 am Just curious, what have you done with the rear suspension? I've seen all sorts or set up's, have you added anything like control arms to it to control axle tramp/diff twisting (or is this not so much of a proble...

Thanks Dave, labor of love, finally got the time and the money to build one how I always wanted to. It is a converted handbrake with ratchet, I'll take some photos and post. 'Over the pit' with adjustable arms...no go. This car is registered but will only be on road during events, trailered everywhe...

Some more photos, sorry it has been awhile. http://i1304.photobucket.com/albums/s522/chris_michel1/DSCN1518_zps4b44c124.jpg http://i1304.photobucket.com/albums/s522/chris_michel1/DSCN1517_zpsf4a38ef6.jpg http://i1304.photobucket.com/albums/s522/chris_michel1/DSCN1521_zps781debd2.jpg http://i1304.pho...

Sachs Clutch and Flywheel.

Actually my ideal would probably be a 4.22 or a 4.4 for the sort of events I do, but can't really justify the cost of putting a Hilux rear end or similar in it. At least the 5 speed has a slightly taller 2nd gear than the 4 speed, so it carries a bit more speed in 2nd thatn it used to with the stoc...

Dave, no I actually had 2 - sold them both many moons ago for a substantial sum, 1 eventually went to South Africa - everybody wants them and very rare as you know. Before I purchased the Lancer I had the same problem with my GB rally car - it had a 5 speed Sigma box in it and with the 3.9 the dista...

Yep, engine is 4G63 and it does basically bolt straight in, only mods were different engine mounts. Current mounts are Hilux with a spacer plate to ensure clearance of cross member but Pajero will also do the trick. Throttle cables are all standard except some special brackets to get angles right fo...

Some more photos coming this weekend, I find posting on the forum also inspires to do more work on the car, long builds are a test of your enthusiasm. Any input, criticism or questions more than welcome.
Regads,

Will do, just had a shiver when I read that, I knew he lost his elbow bit but not how until now.

Took some photos today,detail of the restoration. http://i1304.photobucket.com/albums/s522/chris_michel1/8_zpsf7a97f42.jpg http://i1304.photobucket.com/albums/s522/chris_michel1/9_zpsefa30a43.jpg http://i1304.photobucket.com/albums/s522/chris_michel1/11_zpsa6dc88b3.jpg http://i1304.photobucket.com/a...

Dave,
Engine is 2.0 litre 4G63 but 8 valve motor with some very special internals & work done to head and block.
Goes hard and is good match to car's weight, the extra weight over the standard engine's weight hasn't affected the basic handling of the car with turn in etc
