didn't i here someone mention my name?

The cars coming on slowly, just fabbed the gearbox mount and found out i need to cut the transmission tunnel for the the gear linkage to fit :( .Very annoying after recently spraying the inside.

With addition to this i need a custom inlet manifold as the throttle body is in the bulkhead and custom exhaust manifold as the turbo fowls the engine mounts in the new north/south engine orientation. Not too bothered by this as I'm going for a tubular afair with an external waste gate. :cool:

I will do an update soon. But dash and screen etc is in
