some updates
80 chassis is shortened (30 cm off wheelbase) and also norrowed (12cm)
It is much stronger, and newer than original 40 frame, and i think its better for stronger engine (HZ) or (UZ). Also the frame has its own anticorosion treatment which will last longer (i have to treat the welded parts also)
i have carrefully taken the measurment after assembling and everything is fine for this moment.
The difficulties to resolve
- The rear upper passanger side arm is just above the axels ball so i need to do some modification to avoid the crash during axel travel ( i decided to go with 5 link original 80 set up with panhard)
- engine mounts need to be replaced (pushed back for 15cm)
- the rear part of the wheel fender need to be cutted 10-15cm
