DAY 6 - research
After the hard work from the past few days, i decided to take some rest and do something lighter for today. I did some research on the wheel uprights that i would require. I checked out some scrap yards and i found a couple of old fords that have what i want. It was hard to find though because i am looking for one from a car with double wishbone suspensions and not the common mcpherson struts. they cost around $35 each, not a bad price. Also took my radiator to get it repaired, but no one could do the job because it was made from aluminum and couldn't be welded easily, also it was way too damaged and it would be more efficient to get a new one. However i found out the cost of a 2nd hand Yamaha R1 radiator and its $300. Thats extremely expensive. The good news is, i found some very good radiators from some small cars that will do the job and will only cost me around $80. I'll go pick one out in the next few days.
